The purpose of the present study was to survey the local foods of northern Miyazaki Prefecture using self-administered questionnaires and interviews for the caregivers of the dependent elderly persons. Many community-dwelling elderly individuals were familiar with local foods. Also, cooking and eating local foods contributed to improving communication among the elderly. Furthermore, we examined detailed information related to local foods. The caregivers recognized that local food was a very important factor for improving the QOL of the elderly. However, the caregivers had insufficient knowledge of local foods. These findings suggest that effective education about local foods for caregivers is necessary in order to raise the level of care.
