“…The results maintained in a sub-group analysis on patients with intra-abdominal tumours, whom are at greatest risk for both an impaired NS [7,9] and adverse outcomes after major surgery [12]. The results are comparable to results found in different studies including onco-geriatric patients or elderly hospitalized patients [9,[31][32][33]. Other associated geriatric domain impairments were cognitive and mobility impairments, which were assessed with the MMSE, TUG and risk of falls.…”

“…1 In Europe about one third of older patients admitted to hospital are malnourished, [2][3][4] which makes it a widespread problem. [2][3][4] The condition is associated with several negative outcomes such as declined functional ability, 5,6 readmissions, and a prolonged length of stay in hospital. 7 Even more critically, a systematic review from 2012 evaluating different nutrition screening tools concludes that there is some evidence that malnutrition is associated with a increased mortality.…”

“…Factors previously shown to be associated with malnutrition are age (4,11,12) and certain diagnoses and conditions, such as dementia, (4,13) depression, (4,13) and functional dependence. (11,13) Other factors suggested to be related to health outcomes are mealtime habits, such as the overnight fast, (14) the number of eating episodes, (15) and meals on wheels. (9,16) However, the association between mealtime habits, meal provision and malnutrition in the elderly remain unclear.…”

This is an accepted version of a paper published in Clinical Nutrition. This paper has been peer-reviewed but does not include the final publisher proof-corrections or journal pagination.Citation for the published paper: Söderström, L., Thors-Adolfsson, E., Rosenblad, A., Frid, H., Saletti, A. et al. (2013) "Mealtime habits and meal provision are associated with malnutrition among elderly patients admitted to hospital" Clinical Nutrition, 32 (2) are important for identifying individuals at risk. The aims of the present study were to estimate the prevalence of malnutrition and to examine the association between mealtime habits, meal provision, and malnutrition among elderly patients admitted to hospital.Methods: This cross-sectional study included patients aged ≥ 65 years admitted to internal medicine, surgical or orthopaedic wards. The MNA was used for their nutritional assessment, and factors potentially associated with malnutrition were recorded.Results: Of 1771 patients (mean age 78 years), 35.5% were well-nourished, 55.1% were at risk of malnutrition and 9.4% were malnourished. Overnight fasts exceeding 11 hours, fewer than four eating episodes a day, and not cooking independently were associated with both malnutrition and risk of malnutrition. Conclusions:The risk of malnutrition was high among elderly patients admitted to hospital, whereas the proportion with fully developed malnutrition was lower than expected. A long overnight fast, few eating episodes, and not cooking independently were associated with an increased risk of malnutrition. Knowledge of these factors when providing care to the elderly may assist health-care professionals to prevent malnutrition.
