Undernutrition Clinical Trial
Official title:
Can Protein Intake be Increased by Offering Protein-enriched Foods and Drinks? Evaluation of a Pilot in a Local Residential Care Home.
The objective of this study is to investigate whether a protein-enriched daily menu is
acceptable and effective in increasing protein intake in elderly in a residential care home
up to an intake of 1,2 gram/ kg body weight per day.
The investigators hypothesise that when elderly eat 2 slices of bread, 1 portion of juice
and 1 portion of soup each day, the protein intake can be increased by at least 20
grams/day. On average this can lead to an intake of 1,2 gram/ kg body weight per day.
Rationale: Due to inactivity, elderly are prone to lose muscle mass. With an increased
protein intake, muscle mass might be maintained. The current recommendation for protein
intake for elderly is the same as for younger adults, but researchers and geriatricians
appeal for a higher recommended protein intake to maintain health and function. One way to
reach a higher intake is by providing protein-enriched foods. Because of concerns that these
foods are more satiating, careful monitoring of protein intake after introducing these foods
is warranted.
Objective: To investigate whether a protein-enriched daily menu is acceptable and effective
in increasing protein intake in elderly in a residential care home up to an intake of 1,2
gram/ kg body weight per day.
Study design: Dietary intake will be monitored before and after introducing a
protein-enriched daily menu. The menu will be provided for 10 days to all residents of the
care home. For residents who give consent, intake will be recorded by trained research
assistants and nurses on 2 consecutive days before the pilot and on days 9 and 10 of the
pilot. After the pilot residents will return to their regular menus.
Study population: The study population consists of elderly men and women (aged 65 or older)
living in a care home in Wageningen, the Netherlands.
Intervention: A protein-enriched daily menu for 10 days.
Main study parameters/endpoints: Protein intake and resident satisfaction with the menu.
