KRecently the conception of proper diet for old age has been greatly reâ€" vised. Several things are responsible for this. The fact that in the later years of life the digestive mechanism does not always work so efficiently as it does in youth is of course true. Often, however, in former years the trouble was not with the digestion itself but was caused by the fact that loss of teeth had prevented the preparation of foods for digestion. With modern denâ€" tistry teeth are preserved for a much longer period and when necessary are renlaced. It is uncommon today to see tfoothless old men and women. Because it was difficult for many ~lder people to eat a variety of foods, ~â€" became a recognized practice to reâ€" mmend soft food or those which were ‘nely chopped vegetables and did not cat a full quota in this form. ‘t is now recognized that many of the .â€"=called diseases of old age are actuâ€" ally the results of malnutrition. With a plentiful amount of protein, minerals and vitamins, especially . vitamin . B1 which has the specific function of imâ€" proving the health of the digestive tract, we can expect that older persons will be able to eat those foods which they have liked in youth and at the same time avoid ailments which bring disâ€" comfort and serious conditons of malâ€" nutrtion,. cly divided. Often meat, because it ~~as difficult to chew, was limited. This *urally cut down the normal protein siipply and there was for the same reaâ€" son lower amount of minerals and vitamins.

Pedley in the Canadian Mediâ€" cal Association Journal. At present it is the vitamins and minerals, the "protective foods that are receiving the most attention as it is laken for granted that these are the food substances likely to be lacking in diets and if these protective foods are bresent in sufficient quantities the apâ€" petite will control the rest of the food imtake. However, while agreeing that the diets of children may be lacking in protecâ€" tive foods and that this is a most inâ€" portant factor in the devolping child, still the editorial points out that the importance in terms of chronic ill health in adults due to the lack of protective ftoods has not been so clearly shown.

"A grouyr of indiâ€" viduals selected at random will show, tew, if any, evidences of lack of vitaâ€" mins. Such a group however, will alâ€" most invariably show one obvious nuâ€" tritional defect, that is obesityâ€"over weight. This is a defect which is not only disfiguring but one which seriously effects the length of life of the victim." I have spoken before of the fact that life insurance figures definitely show the danger of life of overweight and for this reason make the overweight pay a higher premium for his age than that charged one of normal weight. In Arâ€" chives of Internal Medicine, Dr. L. H. Newburgh, whose research work on overweight , I have mentioned before presents the following table which shows the actual findings of the effects on the lhife span of overweight. The article is entitled "Influence of Overweight on Mortality (death rate) in Persons aged 45â€"50 years." If 10 pounds overweight, the death rate is increased by 8 per cerit; 20 pounds overweight, increase is 18 per cent; 30 pounds overweight by 28 percent; 40 pounds overweight by 45 percent; 50 pounds overweight by 56 per cent; 60 pounds overweight by 67 per cent; 70 pounds overweight by 81 per cent; 90 pounds overweight by 116 per cent. Another fact which makes the picâ€" lture even darker for overweights is that which appears in Dr. Hugo R. Roney‘s book "Obesity and Leanness.", in which it is pointed out that ‘"in the total population the death rates of overweight men and women are even higher sincs the groups of life insurance policy holâ€" ders include only the best of overâ€" weights selected by medical examinaâ€" tion as relatively free from other serâ€" ious physical defects." Dr. Roney was formerly chief of Endocrine (glands) Clinic, Northwestern University, Chiâ€" cago. High blood pressure is the cause of coronary thrombosis and also of apopâ€" lexy, two conditions that carry off so many middle aged men and women, and overweight is a big factor in raising the blood pressure. Dr. Roney states that of 2,858 overweights and 637 normal weight men who had applied for perioâ€" dic health examinations provided by life insurance companies, high blood pxes- sure was present in 5 percent of those of normal weight, in 10 percent of men 25 tq 40 percent overweight, in 33 perâ€" cent of men 40 percent overweight. As overweight, then, is such a menace to health and life itself, the editorial concludes that actual treatment in hosâ€" pital would be wise for the majority of overweights. vice and mention the name of this newspaper.
