Brief Summary

The aim of this clinical trial is to determine the efficacy at 12 months of the application of the nutrition care process in the eating habits of older adults in the state of Colima, Mexico compared to a conventional nutritional intervention.

The main questions it aims to answer is: what is the efficacy of the application of the nutrition care process vs. a conventional nutritional intervention on the eating habits of older adults in the state of Colima, Mexico after 12 months of follow-up?

Detailed Description

Participants will be two study groups. Group 1 will apply the nutritional care process and Group 2 will use standard care. The Structured Survey of Food Quality of the older adult will be applied to classify eating habits as good and bad; as well as the reduction of malnutrition in the study participants, in addition, the 24-hour reminder and the food consumption frequency questionnaire will be evaluated before and after the nutritional intervention, an eating plan will be determined according to the needs and later, follow-up will be given for 8 weeks, finally monitoring will be done at 3, 6 and 12 months in order to detect changes in eating habits.

The financial resources will be financed by resources own in the Social Coexistence Center for the older adults in the metropolitan area of Colima, Mexico. Group experience: there are health professionals specialized in patient care.

The protocol has the approval of a local research ethics committee (CEICANCL220223-NUTRICIA-02).
