MyNOURISH: Hydrolysed Collagen Supplementation in Older Adults With Fragility Fractures

Sponsor: Hospital Pengajar Universiti Putra Malaysia

Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn whether hydrolysed collagen supplementation (PROTÉGEN Plus) within multidisciplinary care can improve nutrition and recovery in older adults with fragility fractures. The main questions this study aims to answer are: 1. Does collagen supplementation improve malnutrition status, nutritional biomarker (albumin levels), body composition (skeletal muscle and fat-free mass), functional capacity and bone turnover (P1NP and CTX) over 12 weeks intervention period? 2. Does hydrolysed collagen supplementation have additional effects on the malnutrition status and functional capacity among older adult outpatients with fragility fractures at Week 6? 3. Are the effects of hydrolysed collagen supplementation on the malnutrition status, nutritional biomarker (albumin), body composition (skeletal muscle and fat-free mass), functional capacity, and bone turnover biomarkers (P1NP and CTX) sustained up to 24 weeks post-intervention compared to standard care? Researchers will compare two groups of older adults (aged 60 years and above) receiving care at Hospital Sultan Abdul Aziz Shah (HSAAS), Universiti Putra Malaysia: \- Intervention group: Participants will receive hydrolysed collagen (PROTÉGEN Plus) with usual care within a multidisciplinary team for 12 weeks. Attend study visits at baseline, week 6, week 12, and week 24 (for follow-up of sustained effects). Keep a diary to record supplement intake, adherence, and any side effects, and return unopened supplement sachets at week 6 and 12 to monitor compliance. \- Control group: Participants will receive usual care within a multidisciplinary team. Attend study visits at baseline, week 6, week 12, and week 24 (for follow-up of sustained effects). This study will help researchers understand whether adding tilapia-derived collagen supplementation to multidisciplinary care can support better nutrition, muscle and bone health, and long-term recovery in older adults after a fragility fracture. It is hoped that the findings will strengthen the evidence for incorporating targeted nutritional strategies as part of fragility fracture management and secondary fracture prevention.
