ClinConnect Summary
This clinical trial, called SERIA, is studying how nutrition and exercise can help older adults who are admitted to the hospital and at risk of malnutrition. The goal is to see if improving their diet and encouraging physical activity can enhance their overall health, strength, and physical abilities, both at the time of discharge from the hospital and three months later.
To participate in this trial, individuals must be older adults admitted to a specific hospital unit and have a score indicating they are at risk of malnutrition. However, some people cannot join, such as those who are expected to leave the hospital within 72 hours, have been recently admitted, or have certain health conditions that prevent them from exercising or eating normally. If eligible, participants will receive tailored nutritional support and exercise guidance during their hospital stay and will be followed up to see how they are doing after they leave. This study aims to improve care for older adults in hospitals and help them recover better.
