Summary

This trial tests whether a brief online training program can improve how general practitioners and GP residents manage malnutrition and prescribe adapted physical activity in older adults. Doctors are randomly assigned to receive either malnutrition training or physical activity training, and their knowledge and practices are measured before and one month after. The goal is to see if short, practical training can change everyday primary care for older patients.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Brief online training videos and summary leaflets on malnutrition and adapted physical activity
What this could lead to
If effective, this training could help doctors spot and manage malnutrition in older adults and prescribe more physical activity, improving patient care.
What could go wrong
The trial is small and measures self-reported practices, not actual patient outcomes. Doctors may overreport improvements, and the effect may not last beyond one month.
