Dietary Modification Intervention Involving Family Support (FamNUTRI) for Managing Sarcopenic Obesity Among Community-dwelling Older Adults

The goal of this pilot RCT is to examine the feasibility and preliminary effects of a dietary modification intervention involving family support (FamNUTRI) on the management of sarcopenic obesity among older people living in the community. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Is the intervention feasible and acceptable for community-dwelling older people with sarcopenic obesity? 2. What are the preliminary effects of the intervention on managing sarcopenic obesity in this population? Researchers will compare the FamNUTRI group, the NUTRI group, and a passive control group to see if the dietary modification intervention with family support has additional benefits over the dietary modification intervention alone and no intervention. Participants will: Attend 6 face-to-face one-hour bi-weekly sessions over 15 weeks Receive bi-weekly phone calls to foster adherence to the hypocaloric diet with high protein intake (For the FamNUTRI group) Invite a family member to attend the sessions together
