BackgroundA majority of community-dwelling older people will in the near future be in need of increased health care. By investigating the relationship between gut health, well-being and nutrient intake we aim to recognize areas through which health might be promoted. MethodsA cross-sectional observational study was performed enrolling 229 older adults ([≥]65 years). Validated questionnaires were used to assess gut health, nutrient intake and well-being. Results65% of the participant experienced gastrointestinal symptoms. Gastrointestinal symptoms significantly correlated to anxiety, stress and decreased quality of life. Dyspepsia correlated to a lower energy percentage of protein. An intake below the nutritional recommendations was found for protein, fibre, fat (monounsaturated/polyunsaturated), while an intake above the recommendations was found for saturated fats and alcohol DiscussionA majority of the community-dwelling older adults experienced gastrointestinal symptoms and had an imbalanced macronutrient intake. Gut health, diet and well-being all represents important areas for future intervention studies.
