Article Abstract

Malnutrition is a state of altered body composition and body cell mass due to inadequate intake or utilization of energy or nutrients, leading to physical and mental dysfunction and impaired clinical outcomes. As one of the most common geriatric syndromes, malnutrition in the elderly is a significant risk factor for poor clinical outcomes, causing a massive burden on medical resources and society. The risk factors for malnutrition in the elderly are diverse and include demographics, chronic diseases, and psychosocial factors. Presently, recommendations for the prevention and intervention of malnutrition in the elderly are not clear or consistent in China. This consensus is based on the latest global evidence and multiregional clinical experience in China, which aims to standardize the prevention and intervention of malnutrition in the elderly in China and improve the efficacy of clinical practice and the prognosis of elderly patients.

Introduction: Sarcopenia, a progressive age-related loss of skeletal muscle mass and function, poses significant health risks in older adults. Phase angle (PhA), derived from bioimpedance analysis, has been proposed as an indicator of muscle quality and physical functioning. This study investigates the association between PhA and physical function, and its potential utility in case-finding phase of sarcopenia assessment based on EWGSOP2 functional cut-offs.
