The 2015-2020 Dietary Guidelines for Americans (DGA) recommends healthy eating patterns to help promote health and prevent chronic disease. Adults 65 years and older, many who will have a higher risk of chronic disease, will make up 21 percent of the population by 2030, increasing the demand for health care. This report compares usual intake to DGA energy-specific intake recommendations for 1,422 older adults (698 men and 724 women), defined as those age 71 and older, from the 2013-2016 WWEIA, NHANES.
