Conclusions nutritional status of older adults admitted to the surgical ward 131
The majority of patients had increased nutritional risk. Age influences poor nu-
tritional status, but in patients with INR it is not directly associated with lower
levels of FFMI, PA and HGS. It is also not associated with lower BMI.
The use of BMI for nutritional screening of older adults at the admission
is not sensitive enough. Therefore, the use of BMI resulted to be more appro-
priate for monitoring the changes of nutritional status during the hospitaliza-
tion. Different parameters determined different numbers of malnourished. We
conclude that set cut-off points of measured parameters have a significant in-
fluence on the assessment of the nutritional status. For a more precise defini-
tion of nutritional status and severity of the disease we suggest laboratory tests.
