Abstract

Currently, there is no consensus about how to best treat malnutrition in elderly long-term care residents. A recent study found that the traditional treatment method of serving small, frequent meals was not effective at increasing energy intake. This review describes strategies to treat malnutrition in this vulnerable population.
