“…If untreated, DRM ultimately leads to significant loss of lean and adipose tissues and affects the function and recovery of multiple organ systems [3]. Among hospitalized patients, the prevalence of DRM is estimated between 20% and 55%, with about 20% of patients affected in Switzerland [4][5][6][7]. Hospitalized elderly patients are particularly vulnerable to develop DRM as a consequence of preexisting decreased lean body mass and impaired intake of protein, energy, and fluids [8].…”

a lack of knowledge in regard to detecting disease-related malnutrition and implementing nutritional support. Our aim was to suggest practical procedures for screening and treating malnourished or at-risk patients hospitalized in medical wards, thereby fostering a straightforward implementation of nutritional therapy independent of the underlying disease and comorbidities. Methods: A working group of experts in clinical nutrition selected and analyzed published diseasespecific European Society for Clinical Nutrition and Metabolism (ESPEN) guidelines relevant for our aim. Eight questions in population, intervention, control, outcome format were defined to cover topics such as screening, nutritional targets, and routes of feeding. Individual studies were extracted from the guidelines by applying inclusion and exclusion criteria targeting the heterogeneous population of medical inpatients with or at-risk of disease-related malnutrition. We used those studies as evidence, as well as recommendations from the selected ESPEN guidelines, to formulate answers to the questions

“…O aumento da idade é conhecido fator adicional para a deterioração do estado nutricional, 1,2,7,12,14,17 o que pode ser observado no presente trabalho com sua associação com o risco (p=0,002). Os idosos têm aumento da fragilidade nutricional devido a modificações fisiológicas que comprometem a força e a mobilidade.…”
