NCT ID NCT04675229
First seen Apr 29, 2026 · Last updated Jun 23, 2026 · Updated 8 times
Summary
This study checks whether a questionnaire called SCREEN can accurately find nutrition risk in older adults (55+) who have mild cognitive impairment or dementia and live at home or in retirement homes. Researchers will compare SCREEN results to a dietitian's assessment and test if the tool gives consistent answers when repeated. The goal is to see if SCREEN works for seniors with memory challenges, not to test a treatment.
