Dietary intakes and blood lipid concentrations were assessed in elderly men (n = 65) and women (n = 92) from 1980 through 1989. Mean age in 1980 was 70 y (range 60-84 y). Health and socioeconomic status was above that found in the general US elderly population. Cross-sectional and longitudinal changes in variables were determined by using least- squares linear regression. No significant cross-sectional differences in energy (kJ/kg), protein (g/kg), total fat, and carbohydrate intake with age was noted. Significant longitudinal decreases in total fat, saturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids, and cholesterol intakes were noted in both men and women. Significant decreases in total, HDL, and LDL plasma cholesterol concentrations were noted over time in both men and women. Ratios of both total and LDL cholesterol to HDL cholesterol increased over time. The decrease in total fat and cholesterol intakes were significantly correlated with the decrease in total plasma cholesterol.
