Hospital stay no longer means decline: new study tests exercise and nutrition for seniors
NCT ID NCT07124338
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether a personalized exercise and nutrition plan can prevent older adults (70+) from losing strength and independence during a hospital stay. About 25 patients in a geriatric ward will try supervised resistance exercises, with some also getting a tailored diet plan. The goal is to see if this approach is practical and helpful, paving the way for a larger trial.
