Dietary Modification Intervention Involving Family Support (FamNUTRI) for Managing Sarcopenic Obesity Among Community-dwelling Older Adults

The intervention includes six one-hour, bi-weekly face-to-face sessions, along with bi-weekly phone calls over 15 weeks, to support participants in adhering to a hypocaloric and high-protein diet. The participants will be asked to invite one of their family members to attend the sessions together. Family members will be engaged in discussions to help enhance the participant's adherence to the recommended diet regimen. The aims of the sessions are to raise awareness among participants and their families about sarcopenia obesity and the recommended dietary modifications, emphasizing the critical role of family in supporting adherence to these changes. It also focuses on boosting participants' motivation, reducing barriers to dietary adjustments, and enhancing family-driven social support to help sustain long-term adherence to the prescribed regimen.
