Dietary intake affects the health of older Americans, because poor diet quality is associated with cardiovascular disease, hypertension, type 2 diabetes, osteoporosis, and some types of cancer. According to an AARP survey of Adult Americans, 9.2% of seniors in Florida are food insecure, meaning that they do not have steady access to nutritious foods. Barriers to food security include insufficient income and transportation, as well as the inability to prepare meals in old age. In 2015, the Seniors Advisory Council "Food Security and Hunger Reduction" as one of their top five priorities.
