Food variety was assessed in terms of 157 foods grouped into eight food groups. The relative impact of the seven factors on food use was determined by Kendall's tau statistic. A salient identified factor was the use of dentures which reduced overall food variety. Living situations, particularly single dwelling conditions, exerted negative influences on food variety with the reduction of use frequency of foods in both bread and meat groups. The other five factors: education level, satisfaction with disposable income for food, social activity, emotional state and smoking habits limited food variety to a lesser extent than the aforementioned variables. The findings confirmed that attention to dental health and accommodation arrangements may aid in ensuring the diet quality of elderly persons.
