Digital Remote Monitoring Using an mHealth Solution for Survivors of Cancer: Protocol for a Pilot Observational Study.

Background: Healthy lifestyle interventions have a positive impact on multiple disease trajectories, including cancer-related outcomes. Specifically, appropriate habitual physical activity, adequate sleep, and a regular wholesome diet are of paramount importance for the wellness and supportive care of survivors of cancer. Mobile health (mHealth) apps have the potential to support novel tailored lifestyle interventions.

Malnutrition and associated clinical outcomes in hospitalized patients aged 60 and older: an observational study in rural Wales.

This is a prospective observational study of malnutrition and six-week clinical outcomes on a previously unstudied population of older hospital inpatients in rural Wales. One hundred and twenty-six of 152 patients older than 60 years identified on the wards surveyed were included. Patients unable to give informed consent and those too ill to participate were excluded.

Malnutrition and quality of life in older people: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Although the effects of malnutrition on morbidity and mortality of older people is well established, there has been little work done to investigate the relationship between malnutrition and quality of life (QoL) in this population. In order to facilitate further research and to aggregate existing evidence into a clear overview, a systematic review was conducted. The objective was to identify the literature on the topic, review the findings systematically, and assess the association between nutritional status and QoL.
