“…Although in our study the patients with malnutrition risk had significantly lower BMI values (24.5 vs 29.2), 50.9% of patients at risk for malnutrition according to the NRS‐2002 had a BMI >25 kg/m². This is similar to the findings of a previous study by Leibovitz and colleagues . Anthropometric measurements are helpful for assessment of severity of malnutrition.…”

“…The presence of sarcopenia regardless of body weight may contribute to detrimental outcomes 22 , 23 . This is supported by a recent study 24 that showed that malnutrition risk is a frequent finding in newly hospitalized overweight/obese adults, increasing LOS and risk of in‐hospital mortality. Therefore, a more comprehensive nutrition assessment such as subjective global assessment (SGA) and handgrip strength (HGS) may be required to detect malnutrition, including muscle wasting and weakness.…”

“…The main challenge in the pretransplant area is to diagnose malnutrition in NASH patients, even if obese. Several studies have demonstrated that around 25% of obese patients suffer from malnutrition 89,91 . It should be underlined that exercising under inadequate nutrients and proteins intake could be dangerous in patients with decompensated cirrhosis, given that it could promote further protein catabolism and loss of muscle mass.…”
