Temporal trends in nutrition intake among older long-term care residents

The temporal trends in protein and other nutrient intakes among older long-term care residents have not been studied. The aim of this study was to explore the changes in energy, protein, and other nutrient intakes between 2007 and 2017-8 in two cross-sectional samples of older long-term care residents in the Helsinki metropolitan area. We also studied how the residents ’ disability and stage of cognition modified the association between observation year and protein intake (g/body weight kg).
