The study is a randomized controlled study, ongoing over 16 weeks. At discharge, the intervention group receives guidance from a clinical dietician, where an individual nutrition plan is made. The dietitian will perform a telephone follow-up after 4 and 30 days. It will also be possible for the participant, relatives or municipality to contact the dietician if nutritional questions arise.
At the time of discharge the intervention group will receive a package containing foods and drinks that will cover their nutritional needs the first day after discharge.
They will also get a goodiebag containing samples on protein-rich milk-based drinks. Data is collected on quality of life, appetite, physical function, dietary intake, weight, height, energy and protein needs, as well as experience of discharge and cooperation with the municipality.
If there is a need, information about nutrition status will be sent to the municipality so the municipality can take over nutritional treatment.
The control group receives standard treatment.
