Age 50 years or older\n2. Regularly visits the Senior Center either for lunch meals or other center-based programming\n3. Willing and able to participate in a 6-month intervention, which includes consistent involvement in the lunch program\n4. Willing and able to participate in multiple focus group discussions centered around meal preferences, health perceptions, and dietary habits (full study participation is 7 months)\n5. Capable of providing informed consent and completing an eligibility screening\n\nExclusion Criteria:\n\n1. History of moderate to severe neurological condition(s) that may impact cognitive ability (e.g., dementia, major stroke)\n2. Known severe food allergies that may interfere with participation. (with study MD approval, participants with mild allergies or intolerances may be included and notified not to consume any known allergens)\n3. Recent changes in health status that affect the ability to assess foods (e.g., altered appetite, smell, vision, hearing, and\u002For taste)\n4. Any disorder, unwillingness, or inability, not covered by any of the other exclusion criteria, which, in either the investigator's or study MD's opinion, might jeopardize the subject's compliance with the protocol. This includes impaired vision requiring assistance or aid from another person, impaired smell, or impaired taste perception. Given the number of written surveys and visual support materials, the study would place a large burden on participation for individuals with visual impairment requiring assistance.\n5. Individuals who have a cognitive, sensory, or physical impairment that prevents them from understanding the consent information or completing the required consent documentation will be excluded from participation.",true,"ALL","50 Years",{"count":62,"type":63},30,"ESTIMATED","OBSERVATIONAL","This study will evaluate a culinary nutrition intervention designed to improve the quality of meals served to older adults participating in a senior center. Many meals currently provided in these settings do not meet recommended dietary guidelines, which negatively impact health outcomes among older adults. In this pilot study, participants will receive improved lunch meals that are designed to be more nutritious, culturally appropriate, and acceptable, along with nutrition education sessions over a 6-month period. This intervention will also include training for food service staff to support implementation of the improved meals. The study will assess changes in dietary quality, physical health measures, and social and behavioral outcomes among participants at baseline, 3 months, and 6 months. Findings from this study will help determine the feasibility and effectiveness of this approach and inform future efforts to improve nutrition and health outcomes in Congregate Meal Program for older adults.",[67],"Dietary Quality",[69,70,71,72,73,74],"Teaching Kitchen","Nutrition Literacy","Older Adults","Social Engagement","Congregate Meal Programs","Healthy Eating Index","NOT_YET_RECRUITING","2026-05-19",{"date":78,"type":79},"2026-05-27","ACTUAL",{"date":81,"type":63},"2026-07-01",{"date":83,"type":63},"2027-06-01",{"name":5,"class":6},1]
