简要总结
The researchers tested the hypothesis that a protein pulse-feeding pattern was more efficient in improving muscle mass and immune functions than was a protein spread-feeding pattern, after 45 days, in elderly malnourished patients.
详细描述
To estimate the amelioration of the accretion in protein and the immunizing deficit thanks to a nutrition "PULSEE" ( to hold on 80 % of the proteic by day in on meal) with a proteic distributed all along the day for old subjects having a denutrition
To also estimate that the diminution of the morbidity decrease (infections, bedsores) the average during the stay and the mortality according to 2 modalities of grip nutritional
