Eating pleasure and satisfaction with meals. In the context of the AUPALESENS survey, four groups of persons aged 65 or older were interviewed: 289 lived at home without aid; 74 lived at home with aid, but not related to food (housework, personal hygiene...); 101 lived at home and had help with shopping and preparing meals or used a meals-on-wheels service; and 95 persons lived in an old-people’s home.
Among the many results obtained, the Aupalesens survey showed that eating pleasure (« For you is eating a source of pleasure? ») remained the same whatever the level of dependence, satisfaction with the meals consumed («Do you enjoy the meals currently served?») diminished significantly with the degree to which cooking activities were delegated to others.
