Summary

This study follows 438 older adults (60+) who had surgery for gastric cancer. Researchers want to understand how diet changes over time and how those changes relate to frailty. Participants complete surveys at discharge and at 1, 3, and 6 months after surgery. The goal is to design better dietary support to help these survivors stay healthier longer.
