The validity and reliability of these instruments were approved prior to data collection. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, and Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient.
The findings were indicated a significant positive relationship between attitudes, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control with intentions to food consumption behaviors among older persons with uncontrolled diabetes (p < .05, r = .342, .417, and .216 respectively). Thus, the findings can be used as information for health personal to promote food consumption behaviors among older persons with uncontrolled diabetes.
