Exclusion Criteria:
The Intervention group will get access to a six-minute long education video five days after being discharges from the hospital. The video is focusing on protein and energy meals for older adults. The educational film is available via a link on a tablet/ computer or mobile phone. The education video vil only be given one time.
Other: Education video
The control group will not be given any intervention.

Health related quality of life Using Rand 36 questionaire
Using Rand 36 questionaire. The data from the SF-36 ordinal subscales will be transformed to a ratio scale using the syntax SF-36 manual and will be presented as the results from each of the eight subscales and the two main scales
Time frame: Change in Health related quality of life Using Rand 36 questionaire after 3 months
Body fat
Body fat will be measured by Body mass index (BMI). Weight (in kg) and height (in cm) will be combined to report BMI in Kg/m2
Time frame: Change in Body mass index after 3 months.
Readmissions to hospital after discharge from the hospital
Readmissions after discharge from the hospital will be measured three months after discharge.
Time frame: Registration of Readmissions 3 months after
Muscle strength
Measure Muscle Strength (in Kg) using Hydraulic Hand dynameter for Hand Grip strength in both hands.
Time frame: Change in Hand Grip Strength (muscle strength) after 3 months
The mid-arm circumferences
The mid-arm circumferences (MAC) will be measured in cm with a measuring tape. This will be done on the left upper arm measured at the midpoint between the top of the shoulder and the tip of the elbow.
Time frame: Change in the mid-arm cirumferences after three months.
Subcutaneous fat
Subcutaneous fat will be measured by Triceps skinfold thickness (TFS). This will be done in millimetres with a VirtuFits Digital Fat caliper skinfold in the triceps of the left arm.
Time frame: Change in Subcutaneous fat after three months.
Muscle protein mass
Muscle protein mass will be measured by the mean arm muscle circumferences (MAMC) calculated to the formula: MAMC (cm) = MAC (cm) - (3,14 X TFS X 0,1)
Time frame: Change in Muscle protein mass after 3 months
Knowledge about nutrition
Participants' knowledge about nutrition will be measured with a questionaire consisting of three questions related to the education video.
Time frame: Registration in a questionaire three months after discharge from the hospital.
