Heart disease is the leading cause of death for both men and women (CDC, 2013). Knowledge and application of a heart healthy diet is essential to reducing the risk of heart disease. Older Americans are most at risk for developing heart disease due to potential heart damage from aging and lifestyle choices. However, making lifestyle changes, such as a heart healthy diet, can help prevent the development of heart disease or treat existing heart disease (NIH, 2012). This study was designed to provide a nutrition education session for the participants at the Surrey Services for Seniors at the Havertown Center to improve their knowledge of a heart healthy diet. This study utilized a pre/post-test design with a convenience population of participants at the Surrey Services for Seniors at the Havertown Center. The seven subjects were all Caucasian and all females over 55 years old. A RD-led nutrition education intervention was presented, utilizing a questionnaire adapted from American Heart Association educational quizzes and a handout developed by the researcher. Results revealed a 16.3% mean percent change in knowledge score. Of the seven subjects, five subjects completed every question, and all five improved their scores on the post-test. Two subjects showed decreased scores, however they did not complete the post-test, but did complete the pre-test. Further researcher is needed to investigate the influence of RD-provided education on heart healthy dietary choices in older Americans.
