Telehealth improves quality of life and protein intake in malnourished older adults

This systematic review and meta-analysis examines the efficacy of telehealth methods in delivering malnutrition-related interventions to community-dwelling older adults. The study shows that telehealth interventions, such as telephone calls with dietitian delivery, can significantly improve quality of life and increase protein intake in malnourished older adults. The findings suggest that telehealth can be a patient-centered and accessible approach to addressing malnutrition in this population.
