Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedMild to moderate malnutrition
InterventionReady to drink oral supplementation 600 kcal for 28 days. Study group will receive 2 bottles each 200 mL, 1.5 kcal/mL product. Controlled group will receive 3 bottles each 200 mL 1kcal/mL product.

The randomisation was done by a statistician not included in this study. He then sealed in the envelopes with consecutive number at front page. If a patient enters the study, we pick number accordingly then check the code inside. The code is A or B. The investigator knows what the codes A and B are for but the statistician doesn't. After completion of the study, the statistician will analyse the data and at the end, we all meet to hear the result from him and disclose the code to the statistician.
