The research, which was designed using the semi-structured interview method based on the qualitative research approach. There were 25 female participants with a mean age of 68.0±1.2 years. While the average body weight of the participants was 86.00±19.00 kg; the average height is 163.00±9.00 cm. The average BMI of the participants was 32.30±3.26 kg/m2. Participants generally mentioned that the environment, culture, family, and friends they live in have negative effects on their eating habits and experiences.
