In people with dementia who are at risk of undernutrition, dietary advice aimed at food fortification should be tried first, and weight and nutritional status monitored. If nutritional status is not improved, then oral nutritional supplementation should be used (in the absence of any clinical contraindication) to achieve weight gain and restore nutritional status.
