Developing and assessing the effectiveness of a participatory, nutritional, and physical activity intervention on muscle function and quality of life among older adults with overnutrition in nursing homes—The IFEBO cluster randomized control trial
Background
Overnutrition, defined as overweight and obesity, is a growing concern among older adults, increasing the risk of comorbidity, disabilities, and mortality. However, the optimal management of overnutrition in this population remains unclear.
Purpose
The aim is to develop and assess the effectiveness of a nutritional and physical activity intervention on muscle function and quality of life (QoL) among older adults with overnutrition in nursing homes (NHs).
Methods
A 12-mo cluster randomized participatory trial was conducted in six Danish NHs. The NHs were assigned following a 1:1 allocation ratio for control and intervention. Using the Plan-Do-Study-Act model, intervention components were participatorily developed over the first 6 mo and implemented over the remaining 6 mo. Muscle strength was measured via hand grip strength and a 30-second chair stand test. The Adult Social Care Outcomes Toolkit assessed the care-related QoL. Mixed-effects models analyses were used to evaluate the intervention effects.
Results
Ninety-three residents participated; 59% were overnourished. The intervention included daily/weekly physical and social activities, protein-rich bread, “Snack-on-Wheels,” systematic weighing, nutritional tasks for trained staff, and communication standards. Hand grip strength improved among men across weight statuses in the intervention group compared to the control group (P = 0.039). QoL was maintained in the overweight group, whereas it improved in the normal weight group (P = 0.019), with significant gains in social participation for both subgroups (P = 0.026).
Conclusions
Participatorily developed nutrition and physical activity interventions can improve all NH residents’ physical function and well-being.
期刊介绍:
Nutrition has an open access mirror journal Nutrition: X, sharing the same aims and scope, editorial team, submission system and rigorous peer review.
Founded by Michael M. Meguid in the early 1980''s, Nutrition presents advances in nutrition research and science, informs its readers on new and advancing technologies and data in clinical nutrition practice, encourages the application of outcomes research and meta-analyses to problems in patient-related nutrition; and seeks to help clarify and set the research, policy and practice agenda for nutrition science to enhance human well-being in the years ahead.
