On September 25 2014, Sensus attend the symposium ‘Dagelijkse Kost voor 65+’ that presented the findings of a study about everyday food consumption and the food habits of people aged 65 plus.
One of the key takeaways was that nutritional needs change with age; for example, this population must increase its intake of fiber and calcium. The study concluded that the majority (62%) of Belgian elderly consumers prefers enriched food over food supplements to address their changed nutritional needs.
