Participant Characteristics
Most CC participants ranged in age from 60 to 96 years and were predominantly
women (74%), non-Hispanic White (75%), with educational attainment
of 12th grade and higher (69.5%), and with incomes equal to or
110 U. O. Anyanwu et al.below $20,000, particularly among women (54.7% versus 77.7%, men and
women, respectively). About 60% of participants lived alone, significantly
more so among women than men (51.5% versus 62.5%) (Table 1)
were counted and added to form a score. Fourteen participants did not have
any fruit and vegetables in the home and the data of these participants were
excluded from the subgroup analysis.
A matrix was developed to examine characteristics of individuals with
varying abilities to shop and prepare meals. Individuals who had some or
no difficulty with shopping and had some or no difficulty preparing meals
were designated as ‘‘able to both shop and prepare meals’’ (n ¼ 111). Participants
who reported being unable or who had a lot of difficulty in both
shopping and preparing meals, were classified as ‘‘unable to shop and prepare
meals’’ (n ¼ 172). The remaining participants were categorized as
‘‘either not able to shop or not able to prepare meals’’
(Non-Hispanic Whites, Non-Hispanic Blacks, and Hispanics). Two individuals
of American Indian=Alaska Native heritage were combined with the
Non-Hispanic Black group. Educational attainment was grouped into less
than 12th grade versus 12th grade education or more; annual income was
grouped into those making less than $20,000 versus more; living arrangement
was grouped as living alone versus living with a spouse or others.
