Study Summary
Nutrition is critical for disease prevention and brain health. Malnutrition and weight loss often affect persons with Alzheimer's dementia (PWD), worsening overall health and dementia. Informal caregivers (usually family members) perform many nutrition-related tasks as part of daily care such as food preparation and feeding. Limited research, however, suggests informal caregivers experience high rates of caregiver burden, malnutrition and low health literacy. More research is needed to uncover these and other factors that may contribute to malnutrition for both PWDs and their caregivers. Nutrition literacy, or ability to navigate nutrition information to select healthy food, may be an important caregiving factor that protects both individuals from experiencing nutritional decline. Although the NIH has increased funding to support caregiver research, caregiver interventions that include nutrition are lacking. The purpose of this study is to inform the design of a future nutrition intervention study.
Primary Outcome
Nutrition status will be assessed by registered dietitians, using the Mini-Nutrition Assessment (score ranges 0 to 18) and Subjective Global Assessment (score ranges 0-7). Scores of each measure are further categorized into "normal," "at risk of malnutrition," or "malnourished."
