The food intake is often compromised in the elderly and during hospitalization dietary restrictions may be imposed making them more susceptible to the risk of malnutrition and sarcopenia It is essential to make an early identification of the elderly with low intake and involve them in their self-care The aims will be assess the influence of the nutritionists educational action to increase protein intake in elderly patients to analyze the knowledge on its importance in the prevention of sarcopenia and to identify the prevalence of nutritional risk This is a field prospective correlational comparative and randomized study The elderly patients will be randomized into a Control Group and Intervention Group
Detailed Description:
The Control Group will follow the flow of nutritional assessment and monitoring while the Intervention Group will receive daily visits to monitor food intake leaflet and educational video on the importance of protein and its source foods In both groups a questionnaire on knowledge of protein sources and its importance will be applied and we will calculated the 24-hour recall of a regular day and for three days of hospitalization Patients will be assessment by Mini Nutritional Assessment-Short Form and SARC-F and will be the measurements of calf circumference and hand grip strength
