A randomized, controlled trial that provided delivered meals to seniors revealed that receiving adequate nutrition at home resulted in more than just physical benefits. Delivered meals made seniors feel less lonely compared to those who did not receive meals or received them less frequently.
“This continues to build the body of evidence that home-delivered meals provide more than nutrition and food security,” Kali Thomas, study lead author, assistant professor (research) of health services, policy and practice in the Brown University School of Public Health and a researcher at the Providence Veterans Affairs Medical Center, said.
