About this study

Official title: Effects of Adding Appetite Stimulants to a Fibre Containing High-Protein ONS on Appetite-Related Outcomes in Older Adults

Study to determine whether adding specific nutrients to a high-protein oral nutritional support (ONS), with and without fibre can reduce the feeling of satiety and may increase appetite in adults older than 65 years. This contributes to research into a new type of nutritional nutrition for people with disease related malnutrition (DRM)

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Oral nutritional supplementDietary supplement

    During 4 test days, 1 bottle (125ML) of High protein ONS with or without fibre and with or without the added nutrients will be consumed by the subjects. During each test day, the subjects will complete questionnaires related to appetite and liking of the product from baseline (-5 minutes of start consumption of study product) until 120 minutes after start consumption of study product.

What is being measured

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

  1. composite satiety score (CSS)

    The main outcome parameter in this study is the composite satiety score (CSS), measured from baseline (-5 minutes) until 120 minutes after starting the consumption of the study product.

    Measured: 120 minutes

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Satiety after 120 min

    Satiety, fullness, hunger, prospective food consumption measured from baseline until 120 minutes after starting the consumption of the study product measured with composite satiety score questionnaire

    Measured: more than 120 minutes

  2. Volume consumed

    Adherence to use of the study product, defined as volume consumed within 10 minutes relative to 1 serving [%]

    Measured: 120 minutes

What does the primary outcome measure?

composite satiety score (CSS) (time frame: 120 minutes). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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.
