Objectives

Narrative objectives1

The purpose of this study is to determine whether black tableware, compared with white tableware, increases food intake in older adults aged 65 years or older who consume texture-modified diets. Using a randomized controlled crossover design, this study also examines the effects of tableware color on meal duration and evaluates the effectiveness of a practical nutritional intervention that enhances visual appearance without additional cooking costs.
