A enteral diet formulation was developed to meet dietary requirements of adult patients. The formulation was standarized in household measures so that caregivers would prepare it and delivered it at the patients' home. Anthropometric measurements and blood samples were taken at baseline and at the end of the intervention which lasted four months.
