Study Summary

This trial suggests that cooking demos/culinary medicine can help older adults improve their diet quality, enhancing muscle protein synthesis and reducing risk of sarcopenia and frailty.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for people aged 65 or older who are physically active, willing to eat beef, can cook and use a computer or mobile device. They must be open to having two blood draws. It's not for those under 65, with sarcopenia (SARC-F score of 4+), heavy substance users, cancer/transplant/amputation/renal disorder history, limited mobility, cognitive issues, pacemaker presence or insulin-treated diabetes.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The study tests if culinary medicine—teaching cooking skills focused on healthy eating—can improve muscle quality in older adults by enhancing protein intake. Participants will learn how to prepare nutritious meals that may help prevent and manage sarcopenia.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

Since the intervention involves dietary changes through educational cooking demonstrations rather than medication or medical procedures, side effects are minimal but could include digestive adjustments due to increased protein intake.

Experimental Treatment

Group I: Culinary MedicineExperimental Treatment1 Intervention

The participants in this group will receive culinary medicine in the form of videos that will include cooking demonstrations and nutrition education based on lean beef to enhance protein intake.

Group II: ControlExperimental Treatment1 Intervention

This group will only receive recipes based on lean beef to enhance protein intake.

Frequently Asked Questions

These questions and answers are submitted by anonymous patients, and have not been verified by our internal team.

Is there still the capacity to enroll volunteers in this experiment?

"Affirmative. Clinicaltrials.gov data indicates that this trial is currently recruiting participants, having been initially posted on May 6th 2023 and last updated on November 27th of the same year. The research team requires 46 patients from a single site to complete their study."

Answered by AI

How many individuals are being recruited for participation in this research endeavor?

"Indeed, clinicaltrials.gov reports that this research venture is currently soliciting recruits; it was uploaded on May 6th 2023 and most recently updated November 27th of the same year. The trial requires 46 participants from a single site for completion."

Answered by AI

What is the end goal of this experiment?

"This study aims to measure changes in Muscle Composition via Bioelectric Impedance Analysis (BIA) Tanita MC-780U Scale, as well assess the subjects' understanding of nutritional qualities with a custom Nutrition Knowledge Questionnaire and Physical Activity levels with the validated Physical Activity Scale for the Elderly (PASE). Additionally, Food Frequency Questionnaires (FFQ) will be used to monitor protein intake, while Healthy Eating Indexes (HEI) scores determine how closely diets align with dietary recommendations. All these outcomes are evaluated at baseline and 4 months into intervention."
