Summary

This study tests whether a supervised exercise program combined with oral nutritional supplements can prevent disability in hospitalized adults aged 75 and older who are malnourished or at risk. Around 102 participants will be randomly assigned to either the exercise-plus-nutrition group or standard hospital care. The goal is to see if this approach helps maintain physical function and independence during and after hospitalization.
