<span class=“paragraphSection“><div class=“boxTitle“>Summary</div>Scholars agree that increased intermingling of science and policy was a characteristic of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Within the realm of food this development has been named ‘nutrification’ or the ‘paradigm of nutritionism’. This article investigates this development in early twentieth-century Scandinavia. The thesis is that societal perceptions of age and age-related food habits influenced the pace and degree to which nutritional knowledge was integrated into and affected institutional diets. The analysis is based on dietary regulations for Danish elderly homes. In order to inform discussions around the importance of age perceptions to the nutrification of institutional food, the findings are compared with research on school meals in Norway and Denmark. The analysis concludes that age perceptions greatly influenced the extent to which diets changed in public institutions. As a result, nutrification was a process with unevenly distributed effects among Scandinavian populations.</span>

Clinicians successfully led service developments, often unsupported by central government and local health authorities, despite benefits being noted in the localities where services were established. In 1989, services were available to most of the population of England and the Department of Health officially recognised psychogeriatrics as a medical specialty.</span>
