Abstract

The present study aimed to determine if providing sensory-enhanced, fortified snacks changed nutrient consumption among nursing home residents. Nursing home residents were provided typical facility snacks or sensory-enhanced, fortified snacks across two separate 8-week time blocks. The enhanced snack supplements included quick-dissolving (transitional-state) crisps, puree dips, and dry soup blends that are intended to be accessible for individuals with a wide range of masticatory and swallowing abilities (e.g., oral frailty). Snacks were weighed before and after sessions using a food scale. Calories, fat, carbohydrates, protein, sodium, sugar, and fiber consumed were calculated daily. Despite consuming a smaller percentage of snack weight, participants consumed increased protein and fat, and fewer carbohydrates and sugar in the enhanced snack condition, with no significant difference in caloric intake. Sensory-enhanced, fortified snacks may be viable options for increasing the quality of nutritional intake among nursing home residents, particularly in light of decreased quantity of intake.

感官增强，强化零食改善疗养院居民的营养摄入。

本研究旨在确定提供感官增强的强化零食是否会改变养老院居民的营养消耗。在两个独立的8周时间块中，为养老院的居民提供典型的设施零食或增强感官的强化零食。增强的零食补充剂包括速溶(过渡状态)薯片，泥蘸料和干汤混合物，旨在为具有各种咀嚼和吞咽能力(例如，口腔虚弱)的个人提供。在训练前后用食物秤称了零食的重量。计算每天消耗的卡路里、脂肪、碳水化合物、蛋白质、钠、糖和纤维。尽管摄入的零食重量占比较小，但在增加零食量的情况下，参与者摄入的蛋白质和脂肪增加了，碳水化合物和糖减少了，热量摄入没有显著差异。感官增强的强化零食可能是提高养老院居民营养摄入质量的可行选择，特别是在摄入量减少的情况下。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Nutrition in Gerontology and Geriatrics publishes original research studies that are directly relevant to clinical and community nutrition issues that affect older adults. Epidemiologic and community-based studies are suitable for JNE, as are well-controlled clinical trials of preventive and therapeutic nutritional interventions. The Journal of Nutrition in Gerontology and Geriatrics invites papers on a broad array of topics in the nutrition and aging field, including but not limited to studies of: preventive nutrition, nutritional interventions for chronic disease, aging effects on nutritional requirements, nutritional status and dietary intake behaviors, nutritional frailty and functional status, usefulness of supplements, programmatic interventions, transitions in care and long term care, and community nutrition issues.
