Study summary

The aim of this clinical trial is to determine the efficacy at 12 months of the application of the nutrition care process in the eating habits of older adults in the state of Colima, Mexico compared to a conventional nutritional intervention.

The main questions it aims to answer is: what is the efficacy of the application of the nutrition care process vs. a conventional nutritional intervention on the eating habits of older adults in the state of Colima, Mexico after 12 months of follow-up?

Read the detailed description

Participants will be two study groups. Group 1 will apply the nutritional care process and Group 2 will use standard care. The Structured Survey of Food Quality of the older adult will be applied to classify eating habits as good and bad; as well as the reduction of malnutrition in the study participants, in addition, the 24-hour reminder and the food consumption frequency questionnaire will be evaluated before and after the nutritional intervention, an eating plan will be determined according to the needs and later, follow-up will be given for 8 weeks, finally monitoring will be done at 3, 6 and 12 months in order to detect changes in eating habits.

The financial resources will be financed by resources own in the Social Coexistence Center for the older adults in the metropolitan area of Colima, Mexico. Group experience: there are health professionals specialized in patient care.

The protocol has the approval of a local research ethics committee (CEICANCL220223-NUTRICIA-02).

Interventions

  • BehavioralNutrition care process

    According to the randomization and simple blinding, there will be 2 study groups in which group 1 will be operated on Nutrition care process and group 2 with Conventional nutritional intervention. * The Nutrition Care Process is a standardized model intended to guide RDNs in providing high quality nutrition care. The NCP consists of four distinct, interrelated steps: Nutrition Assessment, Diagnosis, Intervention, and Monitoring/Evaluation (AND, 2023). * In the case of Conventional nutritional intervention, we will base ourselves on the application of a habitual nutritional clinical history, where information will be obtained on the reasons for consultation and the specific needs of the patient to carry out an intervention based on their priorities.

Timeline

Tracking since Sep 25, 2026
ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Started Aug 2023 (actual). Primary completion is estimated for Jul 2024, 11 months after the start.

Of 438 non-industry interventional studies with no phase under Malnutrition, half reached primary completion within 19 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 10 and three quarters within 34. This study's planned 11 months is below that.

Counting every sponsor, half of 469 studies reached it within 20 months; a quarter within 10 and three quarters within 34.

How these figures are worked out, and which studies are left out of them.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Dec 27, 2023, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
