Background summary
In a wide variety of hospital and community patients, the use of oral
nutritional supplements (ONS) has been shown to significantly improve energy
and nutrient intake, body weight and functional outcomes in comparison with
routine clinical care (Stratton, 2003). To benefit from the effects of ONS it
is of great importance that patients comply with the prescribed nutrition
regimen, to ensure that nutritional intake is optimal and requirements are met.

in hospitalised geriatric patients with (or at risk of) malnutrition.
