- - The study aimed to evaluate the effects of oral nutrition supplements (ONS) on the dietary intake and overall health of older people with dementia, highlighting the risk of malnutrition in this population.
- - A systematic review included ten articles with nine clinical trials, involving 407 participants where ONS usage led to significant improvements in daily caloric intake and nutritional markers, without affecting regular food consumption.
- - While ONS showed benefits for energy and protein intake as well as nutritional status, the research found no significant improvements in cognitive or physical outcomes, suggesting the need for longer studies to fully understand the effects.
