By these grants, publications in peer-reviewed journals were obtained.
Recent Clinical Trial Experience (2017-2023): - Targeted nutritional intervention in Lung Cancer patients: randomized controlled trial (ANAM-17-20); - Characterising SARcopenia and sarcopenic obesity in patients Aged 65 years and over, at risk of mobility disability: OBServational Clinical Trial (SARA-OBS).
