Enteral nutrition (EN), including oral nutritional supplements (ONS) and tube feeding (TF), is recommended for elderly patients at nutritional risk. Early EN initiation improves outcomes and reduces mortality in geriatric care.

Area of Science:

  • Geriatric Medicine
  • Clinical Nutrition
  • Evidence-Based Practice

Background:

  • Elderly, multimorbid patients often experience compromised nutritional intake.
  • Enteral nutrition (EN) via oral nutritional supplements (ONS) and tube feeding (TF) can ensure adequate nutrient intake.
  • Guidelines are needed for optimal EN use in geriatric patients.

Framework:

  • Developed by an interdisciplinary expert group.
  • Based on comprehensive literature review since 1985.
  • Formulated according to officially accepted standards and consensus.

Implementation:

  • ONS recommended for geriatric patients with nutritional risk, multimorbidity, frailty, and post-orthopaedic surgery.
  • ONS improve nutritional status and reduce mortality in undernourished elderly.

  • TF indicated for neurologic dysphagia; not for terminal illness or ease of care.

    • Implications:

    • Early EN initiation is strongly recommended upon identifying nutritional risk.
    • Timely intervention prevents severe undernutrition and improves patient outcomes.
    • EN strategies are crucial for managing geriatric nutritional challenges.
