Providing relevant nutrition education at federally funded senior centers is one way of increasing nutrition knowledge of older adults. The purpose of this study was to present three nutrition education sessions on the revised Food Guide Pyramid, dietary protein, and dietary fiber to older adults at six senior centers in Atlanta, Georgia. Three 20-minute lesson plans were developed and delivered at six senior centers over the course of 3 weeks. Forty-eight matched pre- and post-nutrition knowledge tests were analyzed and a significant difference (p < .01) in nutrition knowledge was found for the total score and three subtest scores.
