Older adults not getting enough nutrition

Pam Schreiner
Many middle-aged and older Americans are not getting adequate nutrition -- even those taking dietary supplements.

That’s according to a study involving 6,200 people, ages 45 to 84. The study included African Americans, Chinese, Hispanics, and whites.

Pam Schreiner, a University of Minnesota epidemiologist, led the study.

Schreiner says she believes that more education and more prevention are needed.
