My research focuses on nutrition in the area of appetite, eating habits, care processes, health, and self-care in patients with heart failure.

The role of appetite in heartfailure

Although nutrition is critical to health, appetite has no clear place in preventive efforts against nutritional deficiency and malnutrition. Poor appetite can lead to low diet quality with negative consequences for both health and prognosis. In my research, I am looking for ways to detect, prevent, and treat poor appetit.
