Meals-on wheels may play a major role in contributing to better nourishment and quality of
life in older people, thus delaying costly hospitalisation. Still, dwelling, old adults who
receive meals-on-wheels are a population at risk of undernutrition leading to a decreased
quality of life.
Hypothesis Offering nutritious ELDORADO meals as meals-on-wheels to nursing home residents in
3 months is an effective way to increase quality of life.
Aim To improve quality of life and functional abilities in nursing home residents by offering
nutritious ELDORADO meals.

Primary | Health related quality of life (EQ-5D-3L) | (EQ-5D-3L) is a standardized instrument for use as a measure of health outcome. The EQ-5D-3L descriptive system comprises the following 5 dimensions (5D): mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort and anxiety/depression. Each dimension has 3 levels (3L): no problems (1 point), some problems (2 points), extreme problems (3 points). This gives a total of 245 different health states, adding unconscious and dead. |
12 weeks | |
Secondary | MMSE (mini mental status) | MMSE-test (mental function) MMSE is the most frequently used cognitive screening test, and has been developed with the aim of measuring cognitive abilities in the elderly and possibly changes in cognitive functioning over time. | 12 weeks | |
Secondary | Hand grip strenght | Hand Grip Strenght (HGS) is valid as a measure of mobility in both healthy people and patients and is associated with both physical (strenght of function) and mental (quality of life) aspects of the participant. HGS will be measured (in kg) with a Jamar 5030J1 Hydraulic Hand Dynanometer. It displays grip force up to 90 kg. |
12 weeks | |
Secondary | Chair stand | By means of the modified 30 seconds chair-stand. Participants are asked to fold their arms across their chest and to stand up and sit down on a chair, as many times as possible during 30 seconds. The seat should be a height of at least 43 cm. In the modified version the arm rests are used for assistance or safety. | 12 weeks | |
Secondary | Diet registration | In this study four days of diet registration will be done both in the intervention period and the control period on each participant to compare the energy and protein intake at the ordinary diet and at the project diet (intervention or control). | 4 days | |
Secondary | Satisfaction with food related life (SWFL) | SWFL consist of five items that can be measured independently, or grouped into a single dimension. The participants evaluate their degree of agreement, with five statements of answer possibilities (from disagree completely to agree completely), and a higher level means a better SWFL score. | 12 weeks | |
Secondary | Weight | The body weight of the participant is measured in the morning in the participants' home on a bathroom scale. | 12 weeks | |
Secondary | Height | Height will be measured with a folding ruler. | 12 weeks | |
Secondary | EVS | The Eating Validation Scheme (EVS) is a Danish nutritional assessment chart, used to assess nutritional intake and risk factors. | 12 weeks | |
Secondary | Liking | During an evening meal participants will evaluate sensory parameters of the side course and the main meal (appearance, taste and texture) with the counseling of a research assistant. A 5-point hedonic scale ranging from 1 (dislike very much) to 5 (like very much) with the medium response either like or dislike was chosen. |
One month in the middle of the intervention | |
Secondary | Compliance | A compliance sheet (compliance-week-schedule) of each week will be done to register how many times of the week the participant has eaten the project meals and how many times they have eaten something else from the ordinal menu (due to dislike of the ordinal menu or other reasons). | 12 weeks | |
Secondary | Observations of meals | In order to identify differences in the way the meal is handled and served an observational visit is done on the eight departments of the nursing home. The scheme includes six items: Preparation of the dinner, Tableware and serving, Presentation of the dinner, The food and side dishes, The ambiance during dinner, The role of the staff during dinner. Differences or coincidences from the observations will be found and used as background information to describe the meal situation. |
