Both sexes consumed less carbohydrate, and more total and saturated fat, than recommended by the Acceptable Macronutrient Distribution Ranges (AMDRs). All women, and 56% of men had calcium intakes below the estimated average requirement (EAR), while a substantial proportion of men were also at risk of inadequate magnesium (41%) and zinc (66%) intakes. Despite higher overall energy, macronutrient and micronutrient intakes than the general population of similar age, being an older retired elite athlete does not confer protection against age-related or population-wide dietary challenges. Targeted dietary interventions may be warranted to support healthy aging in this group.","PeriodicalId":38899,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Nutrition in Gerontology and Geriatrics","volume":" ","pages":"1-10"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2026-09-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149065009","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A common part of a dysphagia treatment plan is the recommendation of a texture modified diet (TMD). In the LTC setting, TMDs are strongly associated with undernutrition and unintended weight loss, and researchers have called for more sensorially appealing and nutritious texture modified foods (TMFs). The aim of this partner-driven, applied research project was to improve the palatability of TMFs for residents in LTC, while being cognizant of the realities and needs of the sector. Together with frontline staff, our work included the creation and testing of 15 recipes, along with an e-cookbook and instructional videos. Our vibrant and flavorful garnishes (e.g. Green Herb oil), all a Food Level Three (liquidized food) on the International Dysphagia Diet Standardized Initiative (IDDSI), can enhance a variety of meals. We also conducted texture tests with common ingredients and found that different blenders produce food purees that are different IDDSI levels. All involved in serving TMFs should be aware of the IDDSI levels and know how to test for these, given that different appliances will render distinct textures. Our recipes and texture analyses support the provision of TMDs in LTC.","PeriodicalId":38899,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Nutrition in Gerontology and Geriatrics","volume":" ","pages":"1-16"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2026-09-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148971770","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Quantitative data from survey respondents (n = 801) revealed positive course perceptions across several metrics (engagement, relevance, satisfaction, knowledge, skills, attitudes, and commitment).

Interviewees praised the course's user-friendly design, clear language, and flexible format. The findings suggest that ican! is a well-received, valuable training tool for SNP professionals. The study also highlights the importance of theory-driven design, audience input, and ongoing evaluation in developing impactful educational resources.

Standardized tools were used to assess nutritional status, cognitive function, depressive symptoms, functional status, quality of life, and comorbidity burden. Descriptive, bivariate, and multivariable linear regression analyses were performed using Jamovi version 2.3.Results: In adjusted models, better nutritional status was independently associated with improved cognitive function (β = 1.31, P < 0.001), reduced depressive symptoms (β = -0.508, P < 0.001), higher quality of life (β = 2.80, P < 0.001), greater functional independence (Katz: β = 0.330, P < 0.001; Lawton: β = 0.497, P < 0.001), and lower comorbidity burden (β = -0.115, P = 0.002).

AI models also showed high accuracy in predicting malnutrition risks and screening for early signs, like swallowing difficulties. Preventative tools were identified as valuable for proactive care, and the importance of user-centred design and the role of healthcare professionals in improving technology adoption was highlighted.Key conclusions: AI-driven interventions have significant potential for improving nutrition care for older adults through personalized strategies.

This behavior, including (non-)verbal refusal, such as pushing away cutlery or an assisting person, can lead to malnutrition, dehydration, and increases mortality risk. However, it is unclear how common this behavior is in residents with young-onset dementia (YOD; symptoms under age 65) and how it compares to late-onset dementia (LOD). This study investigated the incidence and characteristics of these behaviors. We conducted a prospective cohort study with a twelve-month follow-up period, including thirty-six care units comprising 424 beds in twelve nursing homes across the Netherlands. Monthly registration of the total number of residents at risk informed the denominator, and the numerator was determined by the number of incident cases. Of forty reported cases, sixteen were incident, resulting in an incidence rate of 32/1000 person-years. The incidence rate was higher in residents with YOD (45/1000 person-years) than in LOD (26/1000 person-years). In all cases, at least two symptoms were observed. In fourteen of sixteen cases there was a prioritized global care goal aimed at providing comfort care and accept persisting resistive behavior. The findings might imply that young residents are at greater risk of developing these behaviors, and professional and informal caregivers should be prepared for the occurrence of specific resistive behaviors in younger residents.","PeriodicalId":38899,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Nutrition in Gerontology and Geriatrics","volume":" ","pages":"17-32"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2026-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146054186","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
