Protein-Enriched Food Multi-Mix Impact on Nutritional Status of Community-Residing Older Adults
4. Mai 2026 aktualisiert von: University of Lahore
Protein Enriched Food Multi-Mix' Nutritional Status in Community-Residing Older Adults
Malnutrition is a major health concern among older adults in Pakistan due to cultural, economic, and health barriers that limit proper nutrition.
This study aims to develop a culturally appropriate, protein-enriched food multi-mix (FMM) using locally available cereals, legumes, and soybean meal to improve the nutritional status of older adults.
The study includes both a cross-sectional survey to assess malnutrition prevalence and a randomized controlled trial to evaluate the impact of the FMM intervention.

Detaillierte Beschreibung
Malnutrition, particularly under nutrition poses a significant threat to the health and quality of life of older adults in Pakistan.
Age-related changes in body composition, including a decrease in total body protein, lead to complications such as poor wound healing, reduced skin elasticity, and lower resistance to infection.
Many older adults in Pakistan are unable to meet their daily protein requirements due to socioeconomic and dietary constraints.
This project aims to develop a protein-enriched food multi-mix (FMM) tailored to the cultural preferences and nutritional needs of older adults in Pakistan.
The concept of FMM is a novel and scientific approach to food diversification, combining traditional food knowledge with modern food technology.
A randomized control trial was conducted to investigate the efficacy of the proposed protein-enriched recipe.
The duration of the intervention study was 3 months, and one serving of the product was given to the study participants.

Intervention / Behandlung |
|---|---|
|
Kein Eingriff: Control Group (Group 1)
Participants in this group continued their usual diet without any additional intervention.
Their nutritional status was monitored throughout the study as a baseline reference for comparison.
|
|
|
Experimental: Protein-Enriched Food Multi-Mix (FMM) (Group 2)
Participants received a protein-enriched food multi-mix (FMM) developed from locally available cereals, legumes, and soybean meal.
The FMM is culturally tailored and designed to enhance the dietary protein intake of older adults.
|
The FMM was developed using locally sourced cereals and legumes and was enhanced with soybean meal.
It was tailored to the taste preferences and dietary needs of older adults.
|
|
Experimental: Fortified Food Multi-Mix (FMM) (Group 3)
Participants received a version of the FMM that is fortified with additional micronutrients (e.g., vitamins and minerals) to address both malnutrition and common micronutrient deficiencies among older adults.
|
This is the fortified version of the standard FMM, with added essential micronutrients to improve nutritional status.
|
|
Experimental: Food Multi-Mix (FMM)+ Physical Activity (Group 4)
The standard protein-enriched FMM along with a structured daily physical activity regimen tailored for older adults.
This group is designed to assess the synergistic effect of nutrition and physical activity on overall health and function.
|
The FMM was developed using locally sourced cereals and legumes and was enhanced with soybean meal.
It was tailored to the taste preferences and dietary needs of older adults.
A structured physical activity regimen appropriate for older adults was implemented daily.
The activities were designed to enhance muscle strength, mobility, and overall health.
|
|
Experimental: Fortified Food Multi-Mix (FMM) + Physical Activity (Group 5)
The fortified version of the FMM was given to the participants combined with a structured daily physical activity plan.
This group is intended to evaluate the combined effect of enhanced nutrition and exercise on nutritional status and physical performance.
|
This is the fortified version of the standard FMM, with added essential micronutrients to improve nutritional status.
A structured physical activity regimen appropriate for older adults was implemented daily.
The activities were designed to enhance muscle strength, mobility, and overall health.

Change in Nutritional Status
Zeitfenster: Baseline and after 12 weeks of intervention
|
Nutritional status was assessed by using the Mini-Nutritional Assessment-Short Form (MNA-SF), a validated screening tool with scores ranging from 0 to 14, where higher scores indicate better nutritional status and lower scores indicate risk of malnutrition or malnutrition.
This form consists of six main items and has a scoring of a total of 14 points classified as normal (12-14), at risk of malnutrition (8-11), and malnourished (0-7).
The difference in MNA-SF scores before and after the intervention was measured to evaluate the effectiveness of the FMM and physical activity.
