PROMISS

Thanks to a multi-disciplinary international consortium (23 partners from 11 countries), the PROMISS project is eager to:

• Provide insight in the causal links between diet, physical activity, appetite and malnutrition among older adults;
• Develop evidence-based dietary and physical activity strategies to prevent malnutrition and enhance active and healthy ageing;
• Deliver food concepts and products, as well as persuasive technology to support adherence to these strategies.

In this newsletter:
