RESUMO
BACKGROUND: A new diagnostic criterion for malnutrition, the Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition (GLIM) criteria, has been proposed. Despite a recognized link between malnutrition and oral health, further clarification is needed regarding this association when using the GLIM criteria. This study examined the association between malnutrition and oral health in community-dwelling older adults aged ≥ 85. METHODS: This study was conducted using data from the Tokyo Oldest Old Survey on Total Health study, and altogether 519 participants ≥ 85 years were enrolled. Malnutrition was assessed using the GLIM criteria. Oral health information, on the number of teeth, maximum occlusal force (MOF), saliva production, denture-related questions (dissatisfaction and frequency of use), dental visit history in the past year, whether participants enjoyed meals, and oral-related quality of life was assessed using the Geriatric Oral Health Assessment Index (GOHAI) were collected. MOF was assessed the average values of three measurements and lower tertile by sex as decline in MOF. For GOHAI, the score for each items (Q1-Q12) was also evaluated, and further, the decline in each item (score: 1-2 points on a 5-point scale) was assessed as a "problem with each items." Oral health factors differing between those with and without malnutrition were analyzed. For differing items, malnutrition risk was evaluated using Cox regression. RESULTS: Eighty-nine (17.1%) participants experienced malnutrition. Significant differences were observed in the decline in MOF, enjoyment of meals, individual scores for Q2, Q4, and Q6, and the problem with Q3, Q6, Q7, and Q11. Cox regression analysis showed that decline in MOF (odds ratio [OR]: 1.728, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.010-2.959), enjoyment of meals (OR: 0.502, 95% CI: 0.289-0.873), problem with Q3 (OR: 5.474, 95% CI: 1.301-23.028), Q6 (OR: 5.325, 95% CI: 1.026-27.636), and Q7 (OR: 2.867, 95% CI: 1.397-5.882) were associated with ORs of malnutrition. CONCLUSION: Decline in MOF, enjoyment of meals, swallowing problem (problem with Q3), limit contact due to oral condition (problem with Q6), and esthetics problem (problem with Q7) were associated with malnutrition as assessed using the GLIM criteria.

BACKGROUND & AIMS: Depression symptoms are both prevalent and associated with poor prognosis in patients with convalescent stroke. Therefore, the improvement of depression symptoms is important for patients with convalescent stroke. This study aimed to examine whether malnutrition diagnosed using the Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition (GLIM) criteria and its components are associated with improvements in depression symptoms in patients with stroke undergoing rehabilitation. METHODS: This was a retrospective cohort study of older adult patients with convalescent stroke. Inclusion criteria comprised patients aged ≥65 years experiencing their first occurrence of stroke and admitted for rehabilitation therapy. Patients were classified into either the malnutrition or normal nutrition groups based on the diagnosis of malnutrition using the GLIM criteria. The Geriatric Depression Screening Scale (GDS)-15 was used to evaluate depression symptoms. The primary outcome of the study was the change in depression symptoms, indicating a change in GDS score from admission to discharge. The association between malnutrition diagnosed using the GLIM criteria and change in depression symptoms was assessed using multiple regression analysis. Additionally, associations with the constructs of the GLIM criteria were investigated. RESULTS: The malnutrition group comprised 64 (45%) patients, with a mean age of 78.2 years; 77 (54%) and 66 (46%) were males and females, respectively. Multiple regression analysis showed that malnutrition, diagnosed using the GLIM criteria (ß: -0.306, p < 0.001), was independently associated with changes in depression symptoms. Moreover, the GLIM criterion component of reduced muscle mass (ß: -0.235, p < 0.001) demonstrated a negative association with a change in depression symptoms. CONCLUSION: Malnutrition and reduced muscle mass, diagnosed using the GLIM criteria in patients with stroke undergoing convalescent rehabilitation, were found to suppress the improvement of depression symptoms.
RESUMO
BACKGROUND: Reduced muscle strength (dynapenia) and mass (atrophy) are prognostic factors in oncology. Measuring maximal handgrip strength with dynamometers is feasible but limited by the cost of the reference device (JAMAR). METHODS: A cross-sectional study was conducted on colorectal cancer outpatients treated with chemotherapy or under active surveillance in our center from September 2022 to July 2023. Accuracy, reliability, and concordance were compared for two handheld dynamometers: the JAMAR Plus (the gold-standard device) and the Camry EH101 (a low-cost index device). A simultaneous nutritional diagnosis with GLIM criteria and bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) was carried out. RESULTS: A total of 134 participants were included. The median of maximal strength for the JAMAR Plus had a non-significant difference of 1.4 kg from the Camry EH101. The accuracy and reliability of the devices were high. Bland-Altman analysis showed a 0.8 kg bias and -4.1 to 5.6 kg limits of agreement (LoA); a 0.1 kg bias and -5.3 to 5.4 kg LoA in men; a 1.5 kg bias and -2.2 to 5.3 kg LoA in women. In total, 29.85% of the participants were malnourished. Prevalence of dynapenia increased from 3.67% with the JAMAR Plus to 5.14% with the Camry EH101. Both devices had a moderate and significant correlation with BIA-estimated muscle mass. CONCLUSIONS: The Camry EH101 was a cost-effective alternative to JAMAR Plus in our sample.

(1) Background: The assessment of muscle mass is crucial in the nutritional evaluation of patients with colorectal cancer (CRC), as decreased muscle mass is linked to increased complications and poorer prognosis. This study aims to evaluate the utility of AI-assisted L3 CT for assessing body composition and determining low muscle mass using both the Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition (GLIM) criteria for malnutrition and the European Working Group on Sarcopenia in Older People (EWGSOP2) criteria for sarcopenia in CRC patients prior to surgery. Additionally, we aim to establish cutoff points for muscle mass in men and women and propose their application in these diagnostic frameworks. (2) Methods: This retrospective observational study included CRC patients assessed by the Endocrinology and Nutrition services of the Regional University Hospitals of Malaga, Virgen de la Victoria of Malaga, and Vall d'Hebrón of Barcelona from October 2018 to July 2023. A morphofunctional assessment, including anthropometry, bioimpedance analysis (BIA), and handgrip strength, was conducted to apply the GLIM criteria for malnutrition and the EWGSOP2 criteria for sarcopenia. Body composition evaluation was performed through AI-assisted analysis of CT images at the L3 level. ROC analysis was used to determine the predictive capacity of variables derived from the CT analysis regarding the diagnosis of low muscle mass and to describe cutoff points. (3) Results: A total of 586 patients were enrolled, with a mean age of 68.4 ± 10.2 years. Using the GLIM criteria, 245 patients (41.8%) were diagnosed with malnutrition. Applying the EWGSOP2 criteria, 56 patients (9.6%) were diagnosed with sarcopenia. ROC curve analysis for the skeletal muscle index (SMI) showed a strong discriminative capacity of muscle area to detect low fat-free mass index (FFMI) (AUC = 0.82, 95% CI 0.77-0.87, p < 0.001). The identified SMI cutoff for diagnosing low FFMI was 32.75 cm2/m2 (Sn 77%, Sp 64.3%; AUC = 0.79, 95% CI 0.70-0.87, p < 0.001) in women, and 39.9 cm2/m2 (Sn 77%, Sp 72.7%; AUC = 0.85, 95% CI 0.80-0.90, p < 0.001) in men. Additionally, skeletal muscle area (SMA) showed good discriminative capacity for detecting low appendicular skeletal muscle mass (ASMM) (AUC = 0.71, 95% CI 0.65-0.76, p < 0.001). The identified SMA cutoff points for diagnosing low ASMM were 83.2 cm2 (Sn 76.7%, Sp 55.3%; AUC = 0.77, 95% CI 0.69-0.84, p < 0.001) in women and 112.6 cm2 (Sn 82.3%, Sp 58.6%; AUC = 0.79, 95% CI 0.74-0.85, p < 0.001) in men. (4) Conclusions: AI-assisted body composition assessment using CT is a valuable tool in the morphofunctional evaluation of patients with colorectal cancer prior to surgery. CT provides quantitative data on muscle mass for the application of the GLIM criteria for malnutrition and the EWGSOP2 criteria for sarcopenia, with specific cutoff points established for diagnostic use.

BACKGROUND: Malnutrition (MN) is a major health concern for patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) who receive maintenance hemodialysis (MHD). These patients are particularly vulnerable to MN due to their compromised health status, which in turn increases the risk of morbidity and mortality. However, there is limited evidence on the use of reliable and effective tools for assessing MN in this population. This lack of sufficient data highlights the crucial need to assess MN within these patients, considering the significant mortality risk it poses. The first aim of this study was to compare the concurrent validity of three nutritional methods: the 7-point Subjective Global Assessment (7p-SGA), the Nutritional Risk Index (NRI), and the Nutritional Risk Screening from 2002 (NRS-2002) with the Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition (GLIM) criteria in MHD patients. The second aim was to investigate the advantage of the bio-electrical impedance-derived phase angle (PhA) in predicting MN. METHODS: one hundred sixty-eight outpatients (31% women) with a mean age of 56.9 ± 14.7 years and a median dialysis vintage of 48 months were included in this retrospective study. Nutritional scores, anthropometric measurements, biological markers, and body composition parameters were collected. RESULTS: According to GLIM standards, MN was identified in 80% of these patients. Using logistic regression (LR) analysis, all nutritional scores were significantly associated with GLIM criteria, with optimal sensitivity (94.4%) and specificity (85.7%) for 7p-SGA and NRI, respectively. For discriminating the nutritional risk, the GLIM criteria demonstrated a good agreement with 7p-SGA (Kappa concordance coefficient (κ) = 0.677, p-value<0.001) with a good level of accuracy (Area Under the Curve (AUC) = 0.841; 95% Confidence Interval (CI) = 0.705-0.977; p-value <0.001) when compared to the NRI and NRS-2002 (κ = 0.522, p-value<0.001 and κ = 0.411, p-value = 0.006, respectively). An excellent accuracy was found between PhA and the GLIM-defined MN, with an optimal cut-off value of 5.5° for males and 4.5° for females. The LR showed that arm circumference is the parameter that most influences the decrease of PhA (odds ratio 2.710, 95% CI = 1.597-4.597, p-value <0.001). CONCLUSION: Based on the results of the present study, 7p-SGA is the most sensitive score in identifying MN diagnosed by GLIM criteria. Nonetheless, NRI exhibits greater specificity. PhA is a valuable marker for MN in MHD patients.

BACKGROUND & AIMS: The utilization of recommended nutritional assessment measures in rehabilitation settings remains unclear. This study explored methods for identifying nutritional disorders using data from a nationwide survey conducted in convalescent rehabilitation wards. METHODS: This cross-sectional study analyzed the annual survey, including methods for identifying malnutrition, the risk of malnutrition, and overnutrition in Kaifukuki (convalescent) rehabilitation wards. Methods identifying malnutrition and risk of malnutrition were grouped into nutritional screening tools (NSTs), nutritional assessment tools (NATs), diagnostic criteria for malnutrition (DCM), and suboptimal methods (e.g., hypoalbuminemia). NSTs, NATs, and DCM were further categorized as "acceptable tools." The association between applying acceptable tools, hospital-based data (e.g., the number of beds), and ward-based data (e.g., assessor for nutritional status) was analyzed by logistic regression analysis with multiple imputations. RESULTS: In total, 885 hospitals with Kaifukuki rehabilitation wards responded to the survey, and 754 hospitals were included in the analysis. Registered dietitians assessed the nutritional status in 88% of the hospitals, whereas other professionals (e.g., nurses) evaluated the nutritional status in the remainder. NSTs (e.g., Mini Nutritional Assessment Short-Form), NATs (e.g., Subjective Global Assessment), DCM (e.g., Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition criteria), and suboptimal tools were used in 13.1%, 5.4%, 4.8%, and 74.6% of cases, respectively. Most hospitals used acceptable measures (e.g., body mass index) for overnutrition (91.2%). Multiple logistic regression analysis showed that assessments by registered dietitians (adjusted odds ratio[OR]: 2.20.95% confidence interval[CI]: 1.09-4.45) and hospital-owned food services, a proxy for limited clinical practice time of dietitians, were associated with a low likelihood of implementing acceptable measures (adjusted OR: 0.64, 95%CI: 0.43-0.97). CONCLUSIONS: Acceptable malnutrition measures, including the NSTs, NATs, and DCM, have not been widely applied in convalescent rehabilitation settings. The implementation of recommended tools for identifying malnutrition may be promoted when registered dietitians assess the patients' nutritional status.

BACKGROUND: Malnutrition is present in 20-50% of hospital patients but its recognition is often neither timely nor complete. The Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition (GLIM) aims to improve this, but its successful implementation may be compromised by its dependence on (a choice of) prior screening tools and difficulties in consistent assessment of muscle mass. AIMS: To explore different approaches to screening and muscle assessment in GLIM and to offer simpler choices for its more widespread application. METHODS: (1) Data from 300 consenting in-patients provided Nutritional Risk Screening (NRS-2002), Malnutrition Universal Screening Tool (MUST), and Subjective Global Assessment (SGA) scores. GLIM scoring was preceded by NRS-2002 or MUST (using threshold scores of 1 or 2 for MUST), or no prior screening. The results of GLIM scoring preceded by different screening approaches were compared with those of SGA. (2) The literature on mid-upper arm circumference (MUAC) and calf circumference (CC) as simple, non-invasive, objective methods of muscle assessment methods was reviewed (3) The cumulative times taken to obtain GLIM scores were measured and corrected for the different screening strategies. RESULTS: (1) Participants' mean age was 60 years, 157 (52%) were female and mean BMI was 27.8 kg/m2. In comparison with SGA, GLIM with no prior screening had the highest sensitivity (65%) and negative predictive value (NPV) (76%), but the lowest specificity (90%) and positive predictive value (PPV) (84%). The equivalent figures for GLIM with prior MUST "1" were 62%, 75%, 93% and 88%; with prior NRS-2002, 55%∗, 73%, 98%∗ and 95%∗; and with prior MUST "2", 44%∗, 69%∗, 98%∗, 95%∗. The area under an ROC curve was the highest (0.78) when GLIM was performed without screening or with prior MUST "1". (2) Being less affected by oedema and gender differences than calf circumference, MUAC could serve as a standard globally accessible muscle mass assessment method which can be supplemented by technical approaches if available and deemed necessary. (3) The overall per-capita time requirement of GLIM was 240-245 s without prior screening, and was increased by 2-3% with prior MUST "1", by 27-29% with prior NRS-2002 and decreased by 8-9% with prior MUST "2". CONCLUSIONS: Preceding GLIM by screening can decrease its sensitivity and increase overall time utilisation; "gold standard" muscle assessment is not globally accessible. Our results therefore support considering using GLIM as a combined screening and assessment tool, with MUAC as the method of muscle assessment which can be supplemented by technical approaches if available and deemed necessary. This could potentially both simplify the use of GLIM and improve the early detection of malnutrition. ∗Indicates statistically significant difference from use of GLIM without prior screening.

BACKGROUND: Cancer-associated malnutrition is highly prevalent in advanced lung cancer, and 50% of global cancer-related deaths are attributed to cancer-associated malnutrition. Platinum-containing chemotherapy is the standard treatment for advanced lung cancer. Unfortunately, it can cause exacerbated toxicities, which can also have a negative impact on patient's prognosis and quality of life. The Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition (GLIM) criteria have been proposed as the world's first accepted diagnostic criteria for malnutrition. However, the effectiveness of GLIM criteria in predicting chemotherapy toxicities in patients with advanced lung cancer is unclear. The aim of this study was to apply the GLIM criteria to assess the prevalence of pre-treatment diagnosis of malnutrition in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and to determine the impact of nutritional status on patient's chemotherapy toxicity. METHODS: We conducted a study of hospitalized patients with pathologically and clinically diagnosed advanced NSCLC who presented to our hospital from May 2021 to January 2022. Initially, the Nutritional Risk Screening-2002 (NRS-2002) was used for nutritional risk screening, and nutritional status was assessed using the Scored Patient-Generated Subjective Global Assessment (PG-SGA) and GLIM criteria. Chemotherapy toxicity was assessed and graded according to CTCAE5.0, and chemotherapy efficacy was assessed according to RECIST1.1. Kappa test was used to analyze the agreement between PG-SGA and GLIM criteria. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were used to determine the relationship between malnutrition and chemotherapy toxicity. RESULTS: A total of 215 patients with advanced NSCLC were evaluated for nutritional status. Most of the patients had normal BMI (61.86%) before the start of treatment, 40% were well-nourished as assessed by the PG-SGA tool, and 51.17% were well-nourished as assessed by GLIM criteria. Consistency analysis showed moderate agreement (Kappa = 0.463, P < 0.001) and their correlation was also moderate (Spearman, rs = 0.475, P < 0.001). The objective response rate (ORR) (P = 0.040) and disease control rate (DCR) (P < 0.001) were significantly lower in malnourished patients diagnosed according to GLIM criteria than in well-nourished patients. Multivariate analysis showed that malnutrition (OR = 1.531,95%CI 0.757-3.009; OR = 6.623,95%CI 1.390-31.567, P = 0.046) diagnosed by GLIM criteria was an independent predictor of chemotherapy toxicity. Conclusions Malnutrition diagnosed by GLIM criteria better predicts toxicity during chemotherapy, determines the degree of clinical benefit of chemotherapy, and may affect patient prognosis.

BACKGROUND: The prompt identification of malnutrition among hospitalized patients using the appropriate screening tool is paramount. The objective of our study is to compare the most recommended screening tools concerning the new GLIM criteria for malnutrition in hospitalized patients. METHODS: In this cross-sectional study, we analyzed the data on 1,397 patients receiving inpatient treatment at Bandirma Training and Research Hospital between August 2022 and May 2023 to assess and compare malnutrition in them. Patients who received inpatient treatment in the internal and surgical clinics of Bandirma Training and Research Hospital. In addition to the GLIM criteria, we used nutritional screening and assessment tools such as NRS-2002, MST, GMS, MUST, and SNAQ. The GLIM criteria were considered the gold standard for the evaluation of sensitivity and specificity. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves for the five screening tools were also used to assess the ability to distinguish malnutrition-risk patients accurately. RESULTS: The comparison of the performances of different screening tools in detecting malnutrition demonstrated that while the GMS had the highest sensitivity (87.40%), the NRS-2002 had the highest specificity (91.70%). The area under the Curve (AUC) value indicated that the predictive values of the NRS-2002, MST, GMS, and SNAQ were excellent, and the predictive value of the MUST was good (p < 0.001). While the GLIM criteria in particular appear to be an effective tool for detecting malnutrition in hospitalized individuals, other screening tools are also useful in assessing their malnutrition risk. CONCLUSIONS: We emphasized MST's alignment with GLIM criteria, underscoring the importance of a multidisciplinary approach for early malnutrition diagnosis. Patients at risk of malnutrition can be diagnosed more quickly and accurately with appropriate screening tools and the effectiveness of treatments can be increased.

BACKGROUND: The role of diet quality on malnutrition in older adults is uncertain, due the paucity of the research conducted and the use of use of screening tools that did not consider phenotypic criteria of malnutrition. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the association of two indices of diet quality, namely the Mediterranean Diet Adherence Screener (MEDAS) and the Alternative Healthy Eating Index (AHEI-2010), with malnutrition among community-dwelling older adults in Spain. METHODS: Cross-sectional analysis of data from 1921 adults aged ≥ 60 years from the Seniors-ENRICA-1 (SE-1) study, and 2652 adults aged ≥ 65 years from the Seniors-ENRICA-2 (SE-2) study. Habitual food consumption was assessed through a validated diet history. Malnutrition was defined according to the Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition (GLIM) phenotypic criteria. Statistical analyses were performed with logistic regression with adjustment for socioeconomic and lifestyle variables as well as for total energy and protein intake. RESULTS: The prevalence of malnutrition in the SE-1 study was 9.5% (95% confidence interval: 8.2 to 10.9) and 11.7% (10.5 to 13.9) in the SE-2. Adherence to the MEDAS score was associated with lower prevalence of malnutrition [pooled odds ratio for high (≥ 9 points) vs. low adherence (< 7 points): 0.64 (0.48-0.84); p-trend < 0.001]. Higher adherence to the AHEI-2010 also showed an inverse association with malnutrition (pooled odds ratio for quartile 4 vs. 1: 0.65 (0.49-0.86); p-trend 0.006). Among the individual components, higher consumption of fish and long-chain n-3 fatty acids in MEDAS and AHEI-2010, and of vegetables and nuts and legumes in AHEI-2010, and lower intake of trans-fat and sugar-sweetened beverages and fruit juice in AHEI-2010 were independently associated with lower odds of malnutrition. CONCLUSION: Adherence to high diet-quality patterns was associated with lower frequency of malnutrition among older adults. CLINICAL TRIAL REGISTRY: ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT02804672.

BACKGROUND AND METHODS: Pancreatico-duodenectomy (PD) carries significant morbidity and mortality, with very few modifiable risk factors. Radiological evidence of sarcopenia is associated with poor outcomes. This retrospective study aimed to analyse the relationship between easy-to-use bedside nutritional assessment techniques and radiological markers of muscle loss to identify those patients most likely to benefit from prehabilitation. RESULTS: Data were available in 184 consecutive patients undergoing PD. Malnutrition was present in 33-71%, and 48% had a high visceral fat-to-skeletal muscle ratio, suggestive of sarcopenic obesity (SO). Surgical risk was higher in patients with obesity (OR 1.07, 95%CI 1.01-1.14, p = 0.031), and length of stay was 5 days longer in those with SO (p = 0.006). There was no correlation between skeletal muscle and malnutrition using percentage weight loss or the malnutrition universal screening tool (MUST), but a weak correlation between the highest hand grip strength (HGS; 0.468, p < 0.001) and the Global Leadership in Malnutrition (GLIM) criteria (-0.379, p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS: Nutritional assessment tools give widely variable results. Further research is needed to identify patients at significant nutritional risk prior to PD. In the meantime, those with malnutrition (according to the GLIM criteria), obesity or low HGS should be referred to prehabilitation.

Malnutrition (MN) is a highly prevalent condition in the elderly. It is associated with functional impairment, disability, frailty, and sarcopenia. The aim was to analyze the capacity of GLIM and ESPEN criteria to diagnose MN in a sample of institutionalized psychogeriatric patients. Clinical and anthropometric data were collected in a cross-sectional study. Patients' frailty, dependence, functional capacity, MNA, hand-grip strength (HS), and sarcopenia were evaluated. Body composition (BC) was estimated by conventional bioimpedance analysis. MN diagnosis was established using the ESPEN and the GLIM criteria based on fat-free mass index (GLIM-FFMI), appendicular skeletal muscle mass index (GLIM-ASMMI), skeletal muscle mass index (GLIM-SMMI), and HS (mGLIM). Ninety-two patients (57.6% men; mean age: 79.4 years) were studied. Depending on the diagnosis criteria, MN prevalence was between 25% (ESPEN) and 41.3% (GLIM-SMMI). Agreement between ESPEN and all GLIM criteria was poor, but it was excellent between all GLIM criteria (kappa > 0.8). Phenotypic criteria carried more weight in the diagnosis of MN than etiological ones. Depending on the parameter used, the prevalence of reduced muscle mass was notably different. Differences in BMI, BC, inflammation, and albumin are detected by the GLIM-FFMI criteria in the MN and non-MN subjects. Also, this criterion is the only one that identified differences in phase angle (PhA) between these groups. In the elderly, PhA can be very useful to monitor nutritional status.

The present study investigated whether the risk of recurrence after curative surgery could be further stratified by combining the Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition (GLIM) criteria and changes in subcutaneous (SAT) and visceral (VAT) adipose tissue mass after surgery in patients with advanced gastric cancer (AGC). This study retrospectively analyzed 302 patients with AGC who underwent curative surgery. Based on the GLIM criteria, patients were classified into malnourished and non-malnourished groups. The cross-sectional areas of SAT and VAT were measured from preoperative and 6-month post-operative computed tomography (CT) images. Multivariate survival analyses demonstrated that GLIM-defined malnutrition (p = 0.008) and loss of VAT after surgery (p = 0.008) were independent risk factors for recurrence-free survival (RFS). Evaluation of the prognostic value of combining the two independent predictors showed that malnourished patients with a marked loss of VAT had the worst 5-year RFS rate of 35.2% (p < 0.001). Preoperative GLIM-defined malnutrition and a loss of VAT during the first 6 months after surgery were independent predictors for RFS in patients with AGC. Changes in the VAT area after surgery could further enhance the prognostic value of the GLIM criteria for predicting the risk of gastric cancer recurrence.

Malnutrition is a common and serious issue that worsens patient outcomes. The effects of dietary provision on the clinical outcomes of patients of different nutritional status needs to be verified. This study aimed to identify dietary provision in patients with eaten quantities of meal consumption and investigate the effects of dietary provision and different nutritional statuses defined by the GLIM criteria on clinical outcomes based on data from the nutritionDay surveys in China. A total of 5821 adult in-patients from 2010 to 2020 were included in this study's descriptive and Cox regression analyses. Rehabilitation and home discharge of 30-day outcomes were considered a good outcome. The prevalence of malnutrition defined by the GLIM criteria was 22.8%. On nutritionDay, 51.8% of all patients received dietary provisions, including hospital food and a special diet. In multivariable models adjusting for other variables, the patients receiving dietary provision had a nearly 1.5 higher chance of a good 30-day outcome than those who did not. Malnourished patients receiving dietary provision had a 1.58 (95% CI [1.36-1.83], p < 0.001) higher chance of having a good 30-day outcome and had a shortened length of hospital stay after nutritionDay (median: 7 days, 95% CI [6-8]) compared to those not receiving dietary provision (median: 11 days, 95% CI [10-13]). These results highlight the potential impacts of the dietary provision and nutritional status of in-patients on follow-up outcomes and provide knowledge on implementing targeted nutrition care.

BACKGROUND: Changed body composition with increased fat content and decreased muscle mass is seen in renal transplantation recipients (RTRs). Increased fat mass might mask underlying muscle mass loss; measuring low body mass index and weight reduction alone may not be sensitive enough to diagnose malnutrition in RTRs. We aimed to determine the prevalence of malnutrition in stable RTRs using the Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition (GLIM) criteria and to assess the use of muscle ultrasonography (US) to compare the performance of various muscle US measurements in the diagnosis of reduced muscle mass. METHODS: Ninety-one patients who had renal transplantation >6 months ago were enrolled in the study. GLIM criteria were performed for all patients, but not those at risk of malnutrition. Bioelectrical impedance analysis and muscle US were performed to identify reduced muscle mass. RESULTS: The prevalence of malnutrition according to GLIM criteria was 25.3% (n = 23). All muscle US measurements were lower in the malnourished group than the well-nourished group; however, the malnourished group had substantially lower muscle thicknesses in abdominal muscles, specifically the external oblique (EO) and internal oblique (IO) muscles, than the well-nourished group (P = 0.001 and P = 0.007, respectively). There was a significant association between malnutrition and EO (odds ratio [OR] = 0.338, 95% CI = 0.163-0.699; P = 0.003) and IO (OR = 0.620, 95% CI = 0.427-0.900; P = 0.012) regardless of age and sex. CONCLUSION: One in four RTRs experience malnutrition. Muscle US could be used effectively for the diagnosis of reduced muscle mass and malnutrition in RTRs according to GLIM criteria.

BACKGROUND: Cancer cachexia is associated with impaired functional and nutritional status and worse clinical outcomes. Global Leadership Initiative in Malnutrition (GLIM) consensus recommended the application of GLIM criteria to diagnose malnutrition in patients with cachexia. However, few previous study has applied the GLIM criteria in patients with cancer cachexia. METHODS: From July 2014 to May 2019, patients who were diagnosed with cancer cachexia and underwent radical gastrectomy for gastric cancer were included in this study. Malnutrition was diagnosed using the GLIM criteria. Skeletal muscle index was measured using abdominal computed tomography (CT) images at the third lumbar vertebra (L3) level. Hand-grip strength and 6-meters gait speed were measured before surgery. RESULTS: A total of 356 patients with cancer cachexia were included in the present study, in which 269 (75.56%) were identified as having malnutrition based on the GLIM criteria. GLIM-defined malnutrition alone did not show significant association with short-term postoperative outcomes, including complications, costs or length of postoperative hospital stays. The combination of low hand-grip strength or low gait speed with GLIM-defined malnutrition led to a significant predictive value for these outcomes. Moreover, low hand-grip strength plus GLIM-defined malnutrition was independently associated with postoperative complications (OR 1.912, 95% CI 1.151-3.178, P = 0.012). GLIM-defined malnutrition was an independent predictive factor for worse OS (HR 2.310, 95% CI 1.421-3.754, P = 0.001) and DFS (HR 1.815, 95% CI 1.186-2.779, P = 0.006) after surgery. The addition of low hand-grip strength or low gait speed to GLIM-defined malnutrition did not increase its predictive value for survival. CONCLUSION: GLIM-defined malnutrition predicted worse long-term survival in gastric cancer patients with cachexia. Gait speed and hand-grip strength added prognostic value to GLIM-defined malnutrition for the prediction of short-term postoperative outcomes, which could be incorporated into preoperative assessment protocols in patients with cancer cachexia.

OBJECTIVE: Malnutrition is one of the most threatening conditions in geriatric populations. The gut microbiota has an important role in the host's metabolic and muscular health: however, its interplay with disease-related malnutrition is not well understood. We aimed to identify the association of malnutrition with the gut microbiota and predict clinical outcomes in hospitalized acutely ill older adults. METHODS: We performed a secondary longitudinal analysis in 108 geriatric patients from a prospective cohort evaluated at admission and 72 h of hospitalization. We collected clinical, demographic, nutritional, and 16S rRNA gene-sequenced gut microbiota data. Microbiota diversity, overall composition, and differential abundance were calculated and compared between patients with and without malnutrition. Microbiota features associated with malnutrition were used to predict clinical outcomes. RESULTS: Patients with malnutrition (51%) had a different microbiota composition compared to those who were well-nourished during hospitalization (ANOSIM R = 0.079, P = 0.003). Patients with severe malnutrition showed poorer α-diversity at admission (Shannon P = 0.012, Simpson P = 0.018) and follow-up (Shannon P = 0.023, Chao1 P = 0.008). Differential abundance of Lachnospiraceae NK4A136 group, Subdoligranulum, and Faecalibacterium prausnitzii were significantly lower and inversely associated with malnutrition, while Corynebacterium, Ruminococcaceae Incertae Sedis, and Fusobacterium were significantly increased and positively associated with malnutrition. Corynebacterium, Ruminococcaceae Incertae Sedis, and the overall composition were important predictors of critical care in patients with malnutrition during hospitalization. CONCLUSION: Older adults with malnutrition, especially in a severe stage, may be subject to substantial gut microbial disturbances during hospitalization. The gut microbiota profile of patients with malnutrition might help us to predict worse clinical outcomes.

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Malnutrition in lung transplantation (LT) candidates increases postoperative morbidity and mortality. Early diagnosis of malnutrition could attenuate adverse prognostic factors. This study aimed to assess the prevalence of nutritional risk and malnutrition using GLIM criteria in LT candidates and clinically characterize those with malnutrition. METHODS: A prospective longitudinal study was conducted from 2000 to 2020 of LT candidates who underwent complete nutritional assessment (nutritional screening, anthropometry, bioelectrical impedance, blood laboratory tests and malnutrition diagnosis using GLIM criteria). RESULTS: Obstructive diseases (45.6%), interstitial diseases (36.6%) and cystic fibrosis/non-cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis (15.4%) were the main conditions assessed for LT. Of the 1060 candidates evaluated, 10.6% were underweight according to BMI, 29% were at risk of malnutrition and 47% were diagnosed with malnutrition using GLIM criteria. Reduced muscle mass was the most frequent GLIM phenotypic criterion. Malnutrition was more prevalent in patients with cystic fibrosis/non-cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis (84.5%) and obstructive (45.4%) and interstitial (31.3%) diseases. GLIM criteria detected some degree of malnutrition in all diseases requiring LT and identified patients with higher CRP levels and worse respiratory function, anthropometric measurements and visceral protein and lipid profiles. CONCLUSIONS: LT candidates present a high prevalence of malnutrition using the GLIM algorithm. GLIM criteria detected malnutrition in all diseases requiring LT and defined patients with worse clinical-analytical profiles.

BACKGROUND: This study aimed to assess the prevalence of malnutrition according to Subjective Global Assessment (SGA), Mini Nutritional Assessment-Full Form (MNA-FF), and different combinations of the Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition (GLIM) criteria in older adults who are institutionalized, and the impact of malnutrition on 5-year mortality. METHODS: Nutrition status was assessed by the SGA, MNA-FF, and 15 GLIM criteria combinations. The Katz scale was used to assess the level of dependence. The SGA was considered the reference method, and the agreement (Kappa test), sensitivity, and specificity values were calculated for each GLIM criteria combination. The variables associated with 5-year mortality were assessed using multivariate logistic regression models. RESULTS: One hundred eleven participants (mean age: 81y; interquartile range: 76.0-87.0; 90.9% women) were included; the prevalence of malnutrition according to the SGA and MNA-FF were 49.5% (n = 55) and 8.1% (n = 9), respectively. The prevalence of malnutrition varied from 1.8% to 36.0% considering GLIM combinations. Eight GLIM criteria combinations had a fair agreement with SGA (κ: 0.21-0.40), and two had sensitivity >80%. Regarding mortality, 43 participants (38.7%) died within 5 years. Malnutrition according to the SGA (odds ratio [OR]: 2.82; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.06-7.46) and the Katz scale score (OR: 4.64; 95% CI:1.84-11.70) were independent predictors of mortality. CONCLUSION: The prevalence of malnutrition varied according to the assessment tools. Malnutrition diagnosed by the SGA, but not by the GLIM criteria or MNA-FF, was associated with 5-year mortality in older adults who were institutionalized.
