Effect of health promotion interventions in supermarkets on dietary variety among Japanese older adults: a protocol for a cluster non-randomised parallel-group comparative trial.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

With an ageing population, prevention of frailty among older adults has become a critical public health issue. Dietary habits are one of the essential components in frailty prevention, which involves promoting changes in dietary behaviours, such as including dietary variety. However, community-level health promotion interventions face significant challenges, including limited spatial access to food, which is important as it is not easy to change the behaviour of older adults. The dissemination of community-level health promotion interventions targeting dietary behavioural changes among older adults remains unclear. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the effects of supermarket-based health promotion interventions on dietary variety among older Japanese adults.
