Older adults are at increased risk for health-related complications that are directly tied to nutrition (National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion, Indicator definitions—Older adults, 2015; Nutritional risk among elderly rural midwestern women. Family and Consumer Sciences Research Journal, 3, 2000). This study developed curricula to teach older adults nutrition basics. The sample consisted of older adults participating in Senior Nutrition Program services in Kentucky. An in-depth analysis of the feasibility and acceptability is discussed. Process evaluation focus groups revealed self-reported knowledge gains related to reading a nutrition facts label, the ability to judge portion size, and greater awareness of grocery spending. Participants highlighted decreased calorie intake due to knowledge gains. Results offer practical implications for providing nutrition education to older adults.

This study is to provide guidance for selection of potential publishing outlets by family and consumer sciences (FCS) researchers utilizing three research journals: Family and Consumer Sciences Research Journal, Journal of Consumer Affairs, and Journal of Retailing. Content analysis revealed trends in methodology and a focus on selling product or on people as part of the human ecosystem, enhancing the human condition, or a combination. All three journals included FCS content. Identification of journal characteristics which may enter into the decision-making process of selecting possible publishing outlet for educators, researchers and young professionals is discussed.

Graduate student degree completion and research has been collected annually since 1992. This year's data collection began with an e-mail invitation to 593 institutional contacts at 165 U.S. universities and colleges in June 2022. This e-mail requested information on family and consumer sciences graduate degrees and research completed in 2021. A total of 150 master's theses, 122 doctoral dissertations, and 664 non-thesis master's degrees were conferred in 2021 from family and consumer sciences programs. This report presents the submitted information on theses and dissertations categorized into 16 subject-matter categories by degree level.

The goal of this study was to assess the relationship between physical activity, body satisfaction, psychological distress, and life satisfaction. In addition, the effects of impulse and compulsive shopping behaviors concerning body satisfaction and psychological distress are analyzed. Two hundred thirty female college students participated in an online survey. Structural equation modeling was used to analyze the data. The results indicated that physical activity positively influences body image and ultimately improves life satisfaction. Compulsive shopping negatively affects psychological distress for individuals with poor body image. Physical activity professionals should recognize the factors that will impact one's life satisfaction.
