Summary

The SENIOR STUDY is aimed at improving the condition of older adults and malnutrition management in and out Italian hospital settings, since malnutrition is highly prevalent, clinically relevant and potentially treatable condition. This study consist of two phases: an initial cross-sectional phase and a secondary nutritional intervention phase (RCT).

The SENIOR CROSS-SECTIONAL study aims to map malnutrition status in accordance with the most recent GLIM criteria and investigate the association between malnutrition and anthropometric, demographic and socioeconomic, and lifestyle factors. In addition, sarcopenia will be diagnosed (EWGSOP2 consensus criteria) and blood markers will be measured.

Malnutrition in Italian hospital setting is highly prevalent but the current malnutrition data prevalence and the general characteristics of older adults are not updated. Thus, it is expected to find a high malnutrition prevalence and an inadequate nutritional status.
