Modified Texture Food Use is Associated with Malnutrition in Long Term Care: An Analysis of Making the Most of Mealtimes (M3) Project
2018
Objective
Modified texture food (MTF), especially pureed is associated with a high prevalence of under-nutrition and weight loss among older adults in long term care (LTC); however, this may be confounded by other factors such as dependence in eating. This study examined if the prescription of MTF as compared to regular texture food is associated with malnutrition risk in residents of LTC homes when diverse relevant resident and home-level covariates are considered.
