Abstract

This study investigated the effects of oral nutritional supplements (ONSs) along with dietary counseling (DC) in community-dwelling older adults at risk of malnutrition. In this randomized controlled trial, 196 older adults who were at risk of malnutrition, as identified by the Malnutrition Universal Screening Tool (MUST) were randomly assigned to receive ONSs twice daily with DC (intervention) or DC-only (control) for 60 days. Primary outcome was change in body weight from baseline to day 60. Nutritional status, energy, and macronutrient intakes were measured. A significant larger weight gain was observed in the intervention compared to the control from baseline to day 60 (1.50 ± 0.22 kg, p < 0.0001). The intervention group also showed a significantly greater increase in weight at day 30 (p < 0.0001). Intakes of energy and macronutrients were significantly higher in the intervention group compared to the control group at both days 30 and 60 (all p < 0.0001). The odds of achieving better nutritional status were significantly higher in the intervention group than in the control group (OR:3.9, 95% CI: 1.9, 8.2, p = 0.0001). ONS supplementation combined with DC significantly improved body weight and nutritional outcomes in community-dwelling older adults at risk of malnutrition.
