“…A cross-sectional study evaluating malnutrition in 182 COVID-19 hospitalized elderly patients (mean age 68.5 ± 8.8 years) in China found that subjects classified as malnourished showed significantly lower albumin levels and calf circumference (20) . However, changes in fat deposits and age-related loss of skin elasticity may contribute to errors in estimating muscle mass in the elderly (32) .…”

Can COVID-19 be a risk for cachexia for patients during intensive care? Narrative review and nutritional recommendations

et al. 2020

Although increased weight, and particularly obesity, has been associated with a more severe clinical course of COVID-19 and risk of fatality, the course of the illness can lead to prolonged length of stay. Changes in nutritional status and weight loss during hospitalization are largely reported in some populations, but still not explored in COVID-19 patients. Considering that patients with COVID-19 show an increased inflammatory response, other signs and symptoms, which can lead to weight and muscle loss should be monitored. The aim of this article was to establish possible connections between COVID-19, prolonged hospitalization and muscle wasting, as well as to propose nutritional recommendations for the prevention and treatment of cachexia, through a narrative review. Identification of risk and presence of malnutrition should be an early step in general assessment of all patients, with regard to more at-risk categories including older adults and individuals suffering from chronic and acute disease conditions, as COVID-19. The deterioration of nutritional status, and consequently cachexia, increase the risk of mortality, and need to be treated with attention as other complications. There is, however, little hard evidence of nutritional approaches in assisting COVID-19 treatment or its management including cachexia.
