Article Synopsis
- The study examined the nutritional status of older adults receiving home nursing care in Norway, focusing on various factors like demographics, medication use, and household living conditions.
- The research found that a significant portion of participants were either malnourished (9.3%) or at risk of malnutrition (57%), with factors such as living arrangements and the number of medications linked to higher malnutrition risk.
- The study suggests that addressing nutritional needs and medication management is crucial, as many older adults in home care may not be receiving adequate nutrition, which could affect their overall health.
