Food hygiene challenges in older people: Intergenerational learning as a health asset (2013)
Journal Article
Orme, J., Wythe, H., Wilkinson, C., Orme, J., Meredith, L., & Weitkamp, E. (2013). Food hygiene challenges in older people: Intergenerational learning as a health asset. https://doi.org/10.2495/EHR130181

Older people are more at risk of contracting foodborne infections; however the majority remain well despite the physical, social and cognitive challenges of older age. Future healthcare strategies targeting older people can be informed by exploring t... Read More about Food hygiene challenges in older people: Intergenerational learning as a health asset.
