An observational study in Nutritional Status, Nutrient Deficiency and Micronutrient Deficiency, sponsored by Nutrition Institute, Slovenia. Enrolling by invitation at 1 site in Slovenia. Open to participants aged 65 Years and older. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2023-06-22.
Sponsored by Nutrition Institute, Slovenia · Observational
To obtain up-to-date data on nutritional status of older adults, a national dietary survey will be conducted in 2022/2023, providing data on the consumption of foods and enabling the assessment intakes of energy and specific nutrients. Participating subjects will be also screened for micronutrient status using blood biomarkers (focusing into vitamin D, folic acid, vitamin B12, and iron).
This observational study is conducted on randomly selected residents of 18 different nursing homes, located in all regions in Republic of Slovenia, using described inclusion/exclusion criteria.
Exclusion Criteria:
