| Popis: | Food fortification is used as a nutrition support strategy in aged care homes, for residents who are malnourished or at risk of malnutrition. The aim of this review was to determine the scope and strength of published works exploring relationships between food fortification strategies, mode of delivery and sustainability in aged care homes. Literature from four databases and grey literature was searched. A total of 3152 articles were screened. Seventeen studies were included. Results showed that the majority of studies used pre-made food fortification, rather than fortifying foods on-site. There was heterogeneity across studies, including the mode of delivery and ingredients used for food fortification. Only two studies measured any aspect of costs. No clear sustainable strategies for implementing food fortification in this setting could be identified. Research is required to provide further insight into the acceptability and sustainability of food fortification interventions. |
