This project addresses the high prevalence of Type 2 diabetes among seniors (ages 65+) in Sacramento County, examining key risk factors including poor dietary habits, social isolation, and food access issues. The proposed program, "Augmenting Healthy Senior Habits," aims to reduce these modifiable risk factors by promoting healthy eating, social interaction, and improved access to nutritious foods. Key program components include meal services, workshops, a senior social space, local farmer markets, and market vouchers. Evaluation will involve process and summative methods to ensure the program effectively reduces diabetes risk factors among participants.
