Abstract
Food intake is often compromised in nursing home residents. • Malnutrition is frequent in the institutionalized elderly. • Food fortification with macronutrients is the least obtrusive way of enhancing food intake. • Food fortification with macronutrients increases energy intake. • Food fortification with macronutrients has no impact on functional measures. • Food fortification with micronutrients is not well investigated in nursing home residents.
