The investigator evaluates the patient's diet, symptoms related to their nutritional status, and functional capacity according to the Subjective Global Assessment (SGA). The SGA tool itself is completed by the researcher. Height and weight of the patient are measured, if not yet recorded, and BMI is calculated. The patient's muscle mass is measured using mid-upper arm circumference (MUAC), calf circumference (CC) and bioelectrical impedance (BIA), and their muscle function assessed using hand grip strength.
