What Are the Barriers to Incorporating Nutrition Interventions Into Care of Older Adults With Femoral Fragility Fractures?

Year: 2023

Type: article

Abstract: Malnutrition is common and perpetuates these poor outcomes. Nutrition supplementation has potential to prevent post-injury malnutrition, preserve functional muscle mass, and improve outcomes in older adults with femoral fragility fractures, however high-quality evidence is lacking, thus limiting translation of interventions into clinical practice. This review article is designed to highlight gaps in the evidence investigating nutrition interventions in this population and identify barriers for translation to clinical practice. Our goal is to guide future nutrition intervention research in older adults with femoral fragility fractures. Level of Evidence: V.
