Jung D, De Gagne JC, Lee H, et al. - This study was carried out to evaluate factors influencing eating performance in older adults with dementia (OAWDs) in long-term care (LTC) facilities. Researchers designed a cross-sectional study to analyze risk factors for compromised eating performance by comparing both independent and dependent older adults with dementia. In this study, 117 OAWDs in LTC facilities in South Korea were included. This study’s findings demonstrate that maintaining physical capability should be encouraged to support independent eating performance by OAWDs in LTC facilities. The outcomes of this research could serve as a basis for developing function-focused care to maintain the residual eating performance of OAWDs in Korean LTC facilities. Moreover, this is a subject area that has not been fully examined.
