Trial summary

Malnutrition or its risk is common among older people. To maintain adequate nutrition, increased meal frequency is important. In addition to main meals, regular consumption of nutrient- and energy-dense snacks is recommended. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Tailored Food Solutions for Improving Nutrition and Well-being in Older People: Effects on Postprandial Responses

Malnutrition or its risk is common among older people. To maintain adequate nutrition, increased meal frequency is important. In addition to main meals, regular consumption of nutrient- and energy-dense snacks is recommended. The study examines the post-meal responses to dairy- and berry-based snacks tailored for older people. The plasma concentrations of glucose, insulin and free fatty acids are measured during three hours after snack consumption. In addition, subjective satiety responses and heart rate variability are recorded.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Change in postprandial glucose

    Changes in plasma glucose concentration within 3 hrs after meal

    Measured: 3 hrs

  2. Change in postprandial insulin

    Changes in plasma insulin concentration within 3 hrs after meal

    Measured: 3 hrs

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Change in postprandial free fatty acids

    Changes in plasma free fatty acid concentration within 3 hrs after meal

    Measured: 3 hrs

  2. Change in postprandial satiety scores assessed by using visual analogy scales

    Visual analogue scales (VAS) are used to assess satiety and other related subjective sensations (fullness, hunger, desire to eat, alertness) within 3 hrs after meal. Each VAS consists of a 100-mm horizontal line anchored with verbal descriptions at each end expressing the weakest (0 mm) or strongest (100 mm) statement of sensation. Results are scores between 0 and 100.

    Measured: 3 hrs

  3. Heart rate variability

    Electrocardiography monitoring for assessment of several variables of heart rate variability

    Measured: 3 hrs

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Dairy snack and Berry snack in people with Postprandial Hyperglycemia, run by University of Eastern Finland at 1 site in Finland.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 6 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 25 Nov 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Finland. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Change in postprandial glucose (time frame: 3 hrs). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT04175353, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 25 Nov 2019.
