The Institute of Medicine (IOM) will hold a public workshop to explore technical and policy issues related to nutrition interventions and services for older people staying in community settings. Through invited presentations and discussions among social services and nutrition researchers, program administrators and others, this workshop will address the scope of nutrition needs, the importance, strengths, and weaknesses of nutrition services, and future research needs related to nutrition and healthy aging in the community. The workshop will bring focus to under-appreciated and under-studied aspects of community-based healthy aging and will stimulate dialogue about needed actions and research among health care professionals, researchers, and policy makers who deal with these issues and provide services to older individuals. The workshop is open to the public, but registration is required.
