About this study

Official title: To Explore the Effect of Improved Modified Care Meals to Improving the Quality Of Life of the Pre-Frailty Chewing Disorders of the Older Adult

In 2020, we have entered an aging society. During the aging process, the body will decline with age, and the muscles will decrease, which will affect the swallowing muscles, causing chewing and swallowing difficulties are very common. Difficulty masticating is associated with problems with real teeth, dentures, and oral health disease, and is associated with infection, pain, inadequate nutritional intake, affected appearance, decreased quality of life, and mortality.

At present, Taiwan mostly provides the elderly with shredded food, cooked soft and rotten food, or whipped food. However, when the food is mashed or shredded, the original color, fragrance, and taste of the food will be lost. It cannot change the appetite of the elderly, and it will reduce the satisfaction of the elderly's meal, and there will still be risks of insufficient food intake and uneven nutrition. Appearance or taste can improve the satisfaction and quality of life of the elderly, improve the health needs of nutrition, and allow a variety of choices when eating to change the current situation of traditional whipped food and shredded meals.It is expected that the quality of life, nutritional status, and meal satisfaction of the pre-frail elders with masticatory difficulties will be significantly higher than those of the control group if the subjects receive care meals, which can be used as a reference for the daily care of the elderly with masticatory disorders in the future.
