“…Malnutrition significantly influences the development of frailty because weight loss leads to weakness, exhaustion, slow walking speed and low physical activity—hence, nutritional screening is highly important in frail individuals (Lilamand et al, 2015; Artaza-Artabe et al, 2016). Hypoalbuminemia is a marker of malnutrition associated with a loss of muscle mass and is also a prognostic factor for mortality in the elderly population (Cabrerizo et al, 2015).…”

Frailty is a state that encompasses losses in physical, psychological or social domains. Therefore, frail people demonstrate a reduced potential to manage external stressors and to respond to life incidents. Consequently, such persons are prone to various adverse consequences such as falls, cognitive decline, infections, hospitalization, disability, institutionalization, and death. Pre-frailty is a condition predisposing and usually preceding the frailty state. Early detection of frailty (i.e., pre-frailty) may present an opportunity to introduce effective management to improve outcomes. Exercise training appears to be the basis of such management in addition to periodic monitoring of food intake and body weight. However, various nutritional supplements and other probable interventions, such as treatment with vitamin D or androgen, require further investigation. Notably, many societies are not conscious of frailty as a health problem. In fact, people generally do not realize that they can change this unfavorable trajectory to senility. As populations age, it is reasonable to begin treating frailty similarly to other population-affecting disorders (e.g., obesity, diabetes or cardiovascular diseases) and implement appropriate preventative measures. Social campaigns should inform societies about age-related frailty and pre-frailty and suggest appropriate lifestyles to avoid or delay these conditions. In this article, we review current information concerning therapeutic interventions in frailty and pre-frailty and discuss whether a greater public awareness of such conditions and some preventative and therapeutic measures may decrease their prevalence.

“…However, when the MNA-SF indicates 'at risk of malnutrition' or 'malnourished', further assessment by the full version is needed to confirm the diagnosis. Research shows the MNA has strong sensitivity, specificity and predictive value for malnutrition [13,14,16]. Several of the items in the MNA scale are however likely to have a different meaning in a dialysis cohort as compared to a more general population, such as the items on protein intake, fluid intake or consumption of fruit and vegetables.…”

“…Malnutrition is an acute, subacute or chronic state of nutrition in which varying degrees of overnutrition or undernutrition, with or without inflammatory activity, result in a change in body composition and diminished function (1,2) . Malnutrition, particularly undernutrition, is a common problem in older people (3)(4)(5)(6) . Malnutrition negatively impacts on overall health status, morbidity and mortality (7,8) .…”

Validation of the Mini Nutritional Assessment-Short Form in a population of frail elders without disability. Analysis of the Toulouse Frailty Platform population in 2013

Abstract: The MNA-SF appeared to be a validated and effective tool for malnutrition screening in frail elders. Implementing this tool in clinical routine should contribute to improving the screening of malnourished frail individuals.
