Objective To evaluate the dietary and nutritional status of elderly patients with chronic non-infectious diseases in community hospitals in order to make a reasonable dietary pattern for these patients. Methods A total of 179 elderly patients with chronic non-infectious diseases in a community hospital of Chengdu from January to September 2014 were collected, and we investigated them on their dietary status and basic personal information. The desirable dietary pattern (DDP) score was adopted to evaluate their dietary and nutritional status. Results DDP score of the 179 patients with chronic non-infectious diseases in the community hospital was 91.47, and the dietary quality was relatively good. While the DDP scores of animal food and edible oil exceeded the maximum allowable value, DDP scores of the staple food, fish, eggs, vegetables and fruits were lower than the expected scores. Conclusion It is suggested that meat and other animal food intake be reduced and replaced by regular intakes of poultry, fish and shrimp, and the intake of staple food, eggs, vegetables, fruits be increased to ensure a balanced diet.
