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.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance: Anti-frailty dietary behavior intervention
What this could lead to: If successful, this could lead to better dietary guidelines to reduce frailty in older gastric cancer survivors.
What could go wrong: This is an observational study with a behavioral intervention, not a drug trial. Results may not apply to all patients, and the follow-up is only 6 months.
