“…For example German et al reported a 28% frequency for depression and a higher rate of malnutrition presence in these depressed patients older than 65 years of age (15). Similarly Feldblum et al reported a malnutrition rate of 18.5% with mini nutritional assessment in a patient group of 259 patients older than 65 years of age (16,17). These patients were also found to have the highest depressive scores.…”
