Study Arms (2)

Modified consistency and volume diet

EXPERIMENTAL

Modified consistency diet, with a certain viscosity and controlled volume. The nectar consistency had a viscosity of 51 to 350 centiPoises (cP) and the pudding consistency menus with a higher viscosity at 1,750 cP.

Dietary Supplement: Modified consistency and volume diet

Control Group

NO INTERVENTION

Standard treatment consisting of a modified consistency diet with adequate intake of energy and protein and general recommendations on diet prescribed by the treating physician

Interventions

Modified consistency diet, with a certain viscosity and controlled volume, which was designed from recommendations based on the review of different studies. A Chef and a Nutritionist developed and determined the viscosity of the menus with a Brookfield Viscometer (model RV). All the menus were prepared and evaluated at the Food Technology Department of this Institute to achieve the viscosity required with a food thickener. The nectar consistency had a viscosity of 51 to 350 centiPoises (cP) and the pudding consistency menus with a higher viscosity at 1,750 cP. The patient and/or their caregivers in the intervention group must attend to a training workshop to explain how to use the food thickener.

Modified consistency and volume diet
