Brief Summary

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

An optimal nutritional status is essential for healthy ageing. Telemonitoring might contribute to maintaining or improving nutritional status in elderly people.The objectives of this effect study are to test the feasibility and effectiveness of telemonitoring of nutritional parameters in community-dwelling older adults.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Nutritional telemonitoring

Participants in the intervention group receive a telemonitoring intervention, including self-measurements of body weight, nutritional status, appetite, diet quality, and physical activity. Additionally, participants receive guidance on nutrition and physical activity by means of customized and general television messages and/or if necessary personal guidance by a nurse.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Nutritional telemonitoring

Intervention Type OTHER

Participants receive a weighing scale, pedometer and television channel in order to perform self measurements and receive guidance on nutrition and physical activity. Nurses use a website in order to receive telemonitoring measurements and decide about proper follow-up. In case of risk of undernutrition, nurses provide personal advice to optimize nutritional status of the participant.

Usual care

Participants in the control group receive usual care.

Group Type NO_INTERVENTION

No interventions assigned to this group
