Adding Appetite Stimulants to an ONS in Older Adults
- Conditions
- Malnutrition
- Registration Number
- NCT06645184
- Lead Sponsor
- Nutricia Research
- Brief Summary
Study to determine whether adding specific nutrients to a high-protein oral nutritional support (ONS), with and without fibre can reduce the feeling of satiety and may increase appetite in adults older than 65 years. This contributes to research into a new type of nutritional nutrition for people with disease related malnutrition (DRM)
