Nutritional status of general medical patients--influence of age and disease.

1991-05-01

Abstract excerpt

Arm anthropometry and biochemical indices of protein energy, vitamin, and mineral status were estimated in 294 patients admitted to the general medical wards of a district general hospital over a one-month period. Elderly patients, and those with infections, malignancies, heart failure, and chronic obstructive airways disease had poorer nutritional status. The striking abnormalities were poor protein energy and pl...
