First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study aims to translate and test a 7-question screening scale for appetite loss in older adults (65+) in Turkey, including those with memory problems. Researchers will check if the Turkish version is accurate and reliable by comparing it to other measures and tracking health outcomes over 3 months. The goal is to give doctors a simple tool to catch appetite loss early and prevent malnutrition.

What could go wrong
This is a validation study, not a treatment trial. The scale may not perform as well in practice or may not be widely adopted. Results are specific to Turkish-speaking populations.
