Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The aim of the study is to evaluate the impact of six month long nutritional and oral health intervention on nutritional status, oral health, functional performance and hospital admission/costs on older persons using home care services. Additionally, participants are interviewed at home regarding their drugs use and this information will be compared with medication information in electronic patient records.

Study Groups

Dietary counseling

Group Type OTHER

Nutrition and oral health interventions

Intervention Type OTHER

On the basis of a blood test, Mini Nutritional Assessment, and nutritional anamnesis, the nutritionist developed a plan for individualised nutritional care and discussed with the participant and her/his nurse or family members. If the participants seemed unable to increase the energy and/or protein of their diet, daily complementary dietary drinks were recommended to them. After the dental hygienist interview and oral health examination, the participants in need were targeted for oral health intervention. The intervention included individualised instructions on either dental hygiene, denture hygiene, cleaning of the oral mucosa or for dry mouth. The participants were re-examined six months after the baseline interviews to evaluate the effectiveness of the interventions. Both the intervention and control groups had the same examinations as with the exception of the nutritional and oral health intervention.
