As the abilitiesof physical and daily life tend to fall by aging, and nutrition improvementis importantin elderly. Effects of nutrition improvement for elderly has verified on the seriously malnutrition elderly in a hospital, but there is little evidencefor elderly in community. We conducted the intervention by milk ingestion based on physical activities program for the frail elderly in community. Subjects were 45 elderly people (73.7±5.7 years old) who participated in the preventive program for three months in Izumo City, and were divided into two groups of 22 milk intervention subjects and 23 controlsubjects. The milk intervention group was provided with milk (180 ml/day) by door-to-door delivery, and the parameters of nutrition and anthropometricwere investigated before and after intervention. BMI, HDL-cholesterol and hemoglobinwere significantly improved in the milk intervention group, but no significant effects in the control. The intervention group had significant health-effects of BMI, albumin, HDL-cholesterol, hemoglobin, HbA1c and essential amino acids/nonessential-amino-acid ratio, compared with the control group. Asphysical activities in the control groupbefore intervention was poorer than the intervention group, the control group improvedsignificantlyby the physical activities program.In conclusion, daily milk ingestion based on physical activities program makes an improvement of nutrient state in frail elderly in community.
