Filter by:The goal of this clinical study is to assess the api-api mangrove sword bean food bar effect on the older people's weight affected by a landslide The main questions aimed to answer are: - Can api-api mangrove sword bean food bar improve the weight of older people affected by landslide? - Can balanced nutrition education increase the older peoples' knowledge? Participants divided in the two groups i.e.: - Treatment group received 50 g mangrove sword bean food bar each day during 15 days. - Control group received 50 g sword bean food bar each day during 15 days. - Both groups obtained balanced nutrition of older people education once at the first week of study.
Even if awareness among nurses regarding the importance of nutritional care for older people has increased in recent years, nurses continue to underestimate the necessary approach to prevent malnutrition. Therefore, some authors have argued the critical importance of understanding which factors can influence nurses' caring behaviors during real situations and affect the prevention and management of malnutrition under actual working conditions. Specifically, the relationship between nurses' attitudes, knowledge, and self-efficacy in nutritional care for older people has not been described yet. Understanding these relationships can provide a framework to enhance adequate caring behaviors, mitigating the negative attitudes. Considering that self-efficacy has been previously theorized in several populations as the mediator of the relationship from knowledge and attitudes to specific behaviors, the investigators hypothesized that knowledge and attitudes in the specific area of nursing nutritional care have moderately positive effects on nursing caring behaviors in nutritional care only through the mediation of nursing self-efficacy. The study design is a multi-phase, descriptive observational cross-sectional, multicentric study, collecting data using a web-survey.
The investigators aim to assess 24-hour protein kinetics at two different levels of protein intake: 0.8 (RDA) and 1.6g/kg/day (2RDA) during a normal dietary (TRAD) and a time restricted feeding (TRF) pattern in older adults.
The objective is to evaluate if the immune risk phenotype (IRP) in patients who have been admitted for pneumonia predisposes to worse long-term outcomes. In addition, the association between the detected immunological alterations and clinical, functional, nutritional or comorbidity risk factors will be evaluated. If the hypothesis is confirmed, helpful immunological markers will be identified. This will be useful in clinical practice to identify patients who can benefit from an intervention and / or to identify the best time for vaccination. Otherwise, valuable information will be obtained on the interrelation between immunological, clinical, functional and nutritional aspects.
The LENTO study sample includes the caregivers and their clients living in eastern Finland. The aims of this study are 1. to study the nutritional status, oral health, coping, functional capacity and quality of life 2. to find out how individual nutrition and oral health counseling received for caregivers affect on the nutritional status and oral health of caregivers and their clients 3. develop an operating model to maintain good nutrition and oral health.
Primary objective: To evaluate the effects of additional oral nutritional supplement containing β-hydroxy-β-methylbutyrate (HMB) on thigh muscle mass in elderly subjects with pre-frail status Secondary objectives: 1. To evaluate the effects of additional oral nutritional supplement containing β-hydroxy-β-methylbutyrate on physical performance, nutrition status, and quality of life in elderly subjects with pre-frail status 2. To determine the safety profile of additional oral nutritional supplement containing β-hydroxy-β-methylbutyrate in elderly subjects with pre-frail status
The study compares nutritional status of two groups elderly patient aged 65 and more. One group of the patients received nutritional support (Nutridrink Multi Fibre) for 14 days. Nutritional status of the patients were compared 2 months after the start of the intervention.
Malnutrition or its risk is common among older people, especially among those receiving home care services. It impairs the quality of life of the older people and results in significant costs to society. To maintain adequate nutrition, increased meal frequency is important. In addition to main meals, regular consumption of tasty, convenient, nutrient- and energy-dense snacks is recommended. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of dairy- and berry-based snack consumption on nutritional and functional status and quality of life among vulnerable older people at home care.
Our overarching goal is to prove the benefit of a behavior change intervention designed to help older people overcome barriers associated with risk for inadequate nutrition, so that they can improve their nutritional intake of fruits and vegetables, low fat dairy, whole grains, nuts, lean meats, poultry and fish.
