Chinese Expert Consensus on Home Nutrition Administration for Older Patients (2024).

Families constitute important settings for the nutritional management of older adults, and there is a growing demand for continuous nutritional management services extending from hospital care to home-based care. Since the publication of the Chinese Expert Consensus on Home Nutrition Administration for the Elderly (2017 Edition) 7 years ago, accumulating research evidence and practical experience in home-based nutritional management has highlighted an urgent need for updating this consensus. In this revised edition, a total of 35 recommendations and expert consensus statements have been proposed to guide community-based health professionals in delivering scientifically sound, rational, and standardized home nutritional management services to elderly populations residing at home or within community settings.
