Dietary advice and oral nutritional supplements do not increase survival in older malnourished adults: a multicentre randomised controlled trial.

These results do not support the routine use of supplements in older malnourished adults, provided that survival is the aim of the treatment.Trial registration: ClinicalTrials.gov with ID: NCT01057914.
