Malnutrition is a major health concern among older adults in Pakistan due to cultural, economic, and health barriers that limit proper nutrition. This study aims to develop a culturally appropriate, protein-enriched food multi-mix (FMM) using locally available cereals, legumes, and soybean meal to improve the nutritional status of older adults. The study includes both a cross-sectional survey to assess malnutrition prevalence and a randomized controlled trial to evaluate the impact of the FMM intervention.
