Effect on body weight, quality of life and appetite following individualized, nutritional counselling to home-living elderly after rehabilitation –An open randomized trial

ConclusionAn individually-adapted nutritional counselling did not improve body mass among elderly patients 3 months after discharge from a rehabilitation institution. Neither quality of life nor appetite measures were improved. Possibly, nutritional counselling should be accompanied with nutritional supplementation to be effective in this vulnerable group of elderly. The trial is registered in Clinical Trials (ID: NCT01632072).
