Summary

To study the relationship between sarcopenia and undernutrition in adult patients over 70 years of age, and at the same time to define a threshold value for the predictive SARC-F score of undernutrition.

Hypothesis : the SARC-F score is correlated with malnutrition defined according to the following HAS criteria :

Moderate denutrition Severe denutrition

Conditions

Interventions

OTHER

SARC-F score, handgrip test and impedancemetry

Participation in the study will be offered to any patient admitted to the geriatric ward, those who meet the inclusion criteria and do not have exclusion criteria will have to complete the SARC-F questionnaire during their stay, and to do the handgrip test and impedancemetry performed by a third party. Biological data (albumin, pre-albumin and C-Reactive Protein) and anthropometric data will be collected and analyzed to determine if the patient is malnourished or not, and the results of SARC-F will be compared between these 2 groups.
