Choline: The Underconsumed and Underappreciated Essential Nutrient.

Choline has been recognized as an essential nutrient by the Food and Nutrition Board of the National Academies of Medicine since 1998. Its metabolites have structural, metabolic, and regulatory roles within the body. Humans can endogenously produce small amounts of choline via the hepatic phosphatidylethanolamine -methyltransferase pathway. However, the nutrient must be consumed exogenously to pre...

Could Robots Help Older People with Age-Related Nutritional Problems? Opinions of Potential Users.

The rapid development of new technologies has recently raised interest in the use of assistive robots in the care of older people. The success or failure of robots' implementation is mediated by their acceptance by users. The aim of the study was to answer the question of how both older people and caregivers perceive the possibility of using an assistive robot for nutritional support. Opinions o...
