Acceptability Study of Nutritional Supplements in Hospitalized Elderly Patients (CNO Evaluation)
June 20, 2016 updated by: Centre Hospitalier Universitaire Dijon
Acceptability Study of Nutritional Supplements in Hospitalized Elderly Patients Aged for More Than 65 Years
Malnutrition is a major health problem with serious consequences for the quality of life of elderly people: it increases the number of hospitalizations and lengths of stay, worsens functional dependency and increases morbidity and mortality rates There are numerous recommendations and tools to detect or to manage malnutrition and the prescription of Oral Nutritional Supplements (ONS) can be a solution.
As the elderly suffer from food monotony, as well as age-related changes, which may or may not be associated with the presence of disease, it is necessary to ensure full ingestion of the prescribed supplements to optimize the benefits provided by these products.
To achieve this it is necessary to know the chemosensory characteristics of foods enjoyed by hospitalized elderly people who are malnourished or at risk of malnutrition.
The investigators make the hypothesis that by further optimizing taste and energy content of foods, consumption by the elderly and the health benefits would be improved.

Experimental: Cream appreciation tests

Each product will be tested by all patients spread over 2 days.
A first half of volunteers will start the testing process with the beverages at day 1 and continue with the creams at day 2. The second half of volunteers will process inversely (day 1 = creams, day 2 = beverages).
The test order of flavors will be randomly allocated to the volunteers among the list of all possible combinations.
