Study Summary
Reduction in appetite and/or food intake among older individuals is referred to as anorexia of aging (AOA, also known as Geriatric Anorexia). AOA is linked with myriad comorbidities associated with aging, contributes significantly to adverse health consequences in old age, and has been used as a predictor of morbidity and mortality. The overall aim of this study is to compare feasibility of body weight, body fat, body composition and activity assessments in elderly subjects in long-term care (LTC), nursing home, or assisted living facilities. This will be accomplished through the use of questionnaires in addition to devices that evaluate movement, body composition, and body weight.
Primary Outcome
Two GENEActiv watches will be used (one on each wrist) at a sampling rate of 50 Hz to measure movement in the x, y, and z direction across the study period.
Interventions
- DEVICE Wrist Actigraphy Device
- DEVICE Smart Body Weight Scale
- DEVICE Chair Scale
- DEVICE Handheld Body Fat Percentage Device
- DEVICE Bioelectric Impedance Analysis Scale
