Nutritional Interpretation of Hospital Diets for Elderly Patients With Chronic Diseases and Analysis of Factors Influencing Actual Intakes.

Background: The provision of hospital meals is considered a therapeutic intervention, and a therapeutic diet consisting of a post-discharge meal sample is provided. For elderly patients who require long-term care, it is important to determine the significance of nutrition by taking into account hospital meals, including therapeutic meals for conditions such as diabetes. Therefore, it is important to identify the factors that influence this judgment.

Positive Correlation Between Changes in Serum Albumin Levels and Breakfast Non-Protein Calorie/Nitrogen Ratio in Geriatric Patients.

Background: Differences in nutrition intake by meal intake time of geriatric patients may affect albumin (Alb) synthesis ability.

Methods: We included 36 geriatric patients (81.7 ± 7.

Nutritional Intake by Meal Time Zone in Geriatric Patients Is Related to Nutritional Assessment Index.

Background: The blood metabolome profiles depend on the meal intake time zone regardless of having the same meal. The serum albumin (Alb) level, which is important in managing geriatric patients with chronic diseases, is included in the metabolome analysis. In this study, we aimed to examine the relationship between Alb and the nutritional value of hospital meals consumed at breakfast, lunch, and dinner among geriatric patients.

Influence of Geriatric Patients' Food Preferences on the Selection of Discharge Destination.

Background: The nonprotein calorie/nitrogen (NPC/N) ratio of food remains poorly investigated. Thus, this study examined the nutritional factors that influence the choice of discharge destination for geriatric patients.

Methods: We retrospectively investigated the patient characteristics, clinical laboratory test results, and hospital food consumption of 65 geriatric patients (80.

Practice of Comparative Effectiveness Research to Identify Treatment Characteristics of Similar Chinese Patent Medicine for Angina Pectoris.

Objective: Individualized application of TCM is not easy and may lead to undesirable results, such as poor effect or even adverse reactions. This trial aims to compare two common Chinese patent medicines with similar effects.

Background Of The Research: Four hospitals carried out the test at the same time in Tianjin city of China.
