Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

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

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

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.
