Summary
Malnutrition is common problem in hospitalized geriatrics at discharge. Malnutrition is a high risk for functional limitations, impaired muscle strength and reduced quality of life.
Detailed description
The majority of geriatric hospitalized patients are at high risk for malnutrition at discharge, which has negative impact on post-hospital outcomes. In a cross-sectional analysis in malnourished, geriatric patients we will evaluate frailty-status and functional status using objective and subjective methods at hospital discharge. Moreover, we will investigate the association between nutritional Status and frailty, sarcopenia, quality of life and fatigue.
