Extractions: A Three-County Longitudinal Surveillance Study 1. Introduction Hunger and malnutrition are the most apparent and publicly recognized results of inadequate diets among older New Yorkers. Poor nutrition, however, is a much broader public health issue. Adequate and appropriate diets are an essential component of preventing and fighting many, if not most, illnesses and chronic diseases and conditions, many of which are among the leading causes of death and disability of seniors in the nation. Heart disease, hypertension (i.e., high blood pressure), adult onset diabetes (Type II) and osteoporosis are among those chronic illnesses and conditions associated with nutrition and frequently recognized as high risks when diets are inadequate or not healthy. Recipients of home delivered meals experience basic day-to-day problems in realizing a nutritionally healthy diet. Typically, acute and chronic illnesses and conditions interfere with their physical ability to shop or prepare meals. This may be compounded by insufficient income to buy food or an inadequate understanding of the health effects of poor nutrition.

Extractions: March 30, 2004 GOVERNOR PROCLAIMS HEALTHY HEART DAY IN NEW YORK STATE Announces New Efforts Including Nearly $700,000 to Fight Heart Disease and Stroke Governor George E. Pataki today proclaimed Healthy Heart Day in New York State and announced aggressive efforts including $683,000 in upcoming grant awards to reduce obesity, physical inactivity and other preventable causes of cardiovascular disease to ensure that New Yorkers live longer, healthier lives. New York has one of the best health care systems in the world and whether it's providing health care to children, new cancer treatments to women, or ensuring proper care for the elderly, improving health care has always been one of our top priorities, Governor Pataki said. It's clear that improving cardiovascular health among New Yorkers, especially children, is yet another health priority that we are accomplishing by implementing critical initiatives to promote the importance of physical activity, good nutrition and overall heart-healthy choices. Today and everyday, these important efforts will translate directly into tangible health benefits and a higher quality of life for New Yorkers. Paul Hartman, Director of Advocacy for the American Heart Association, said, We're proud to join with Governor Pataki, the New York State Department of Health and the New York State Legislature in advancing awareness about the risk factors and the need for prevention and treatment of heart disease in New York State. Heart disease causes a tremendous burden both on communities and families, and on the finances of government health insurance programs. By working together in an educational partnership we can begin to reduce the death and disability associated with heart disease in New York State.

Following the creation and expansion of the domestic food assistance programs in the second half of the 20th century, severe hunger, which had been a significant national problem, has become rare. The food assistance programs were developed in several steps. Concerns about the nutritional status of young men drafted for service in World War II led to the enactment of the National School Lunch Act in 1946. The Food Stamp Program was established on a pilot basis in the early 1960s, and extended nationwide in the early 1970s

Of particular concern is the health of young foster children since conditions left untreated during the first 3 years of life can influence functioning into adulthood and impede a child's ability to become self-sufficient later in life. Yet, little comprehensive information is available about the provision of health-related services to meet the needs of young foster children. This report provides information on (1) the health-related services needed and received by young children in foster care, (2) the relationship between the receipt of health-related services and foster care placements with relatives versus placements with nonrelatives, and (3) what responsible agencies are doing to ensure that these children are receiving needed health-related services.
