Abstract
In advanced nations including Japan, health care has shifted to home health care due to the aging of the population and tight medical finances, and providing home care for the elderly in the terminal phase is becoming increasingly important. However, there is presently no standard for optimal energy intake in terminal-phase patients. Herein, we investigated energy intakes for terminal-phase elderly patients receiving home care and examined management methods.
