Mortality in malnourished older adults diagnosed by ESPEN and GLIM criteria in the SarcoPhAge study.

Background

The Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition (GLIM) criteria have been recently launched by consensus of the major nutrition societies. GLIM criteria are partly constructed on the previous definition of malnutrition developed by the European Society of Clinical Nutrition and Metabolism (ESPEN).

The relationship between malnutrition and incidence of 4-year adverse health consequences (institutionalization, hospitalization, falls, and fractures) was assessed.
