This observational study was conducted by European researchers to describe the current micronutrient intakes of Dutch elderly and to identify the contribution of nutrient-dense foods, fortified foods, and dietary supplements to the intake of micronutrients that are often inadequately consumed in Dutch elderly. Their findings were published in the journal Nutrition Research.
Based on these findings, the researchers concluded that a combination of natural food sources, fortified foods, and dietary supplements is needed to optimize the nutrient intakes of Dutch elderly.
