[New approaches to the prevention of eating disorders]. / Nuevos abordajes en la prevención de los trastornos de la conducta alimentaria.

Introduction: The development of effective, cost-effective and widely accessible preventive programs is crucial to reducing the burden of disease related to EDs. Programs using cognitive-behavioral and dissonance-based approaches are most effective for selective prevention. Universal and indicated prevention programs should be further investigated. And programs should be extended to a wider range of ages, races, and cultures, and address multiple public health problems such as obesity and eating disorders, weight-related problems with shared risk factors. The Body Project, MABIC and ZARIMA are successful programs in the prevention of problems related to eating and weight (PRAP). Universal interventions in collaboration with programs for the prevention of drug use or risky sexual behaviors should also be developed. A rigorous evaluation of their efficacy, effectiveness, implementation, and dissemination is necessary. It might be optimal to implement the Body Project with peer-led groups to address the barriers associated with clinician-led interventions. The limitations of traditional programs could be overcome with Internet- and mobile-based interventions. Internet-based interventions could maximize the scope and impact of preventive efforts. However, current scientific evidence for the prevention of EDs online is limited. Internet interventions are less effective than face-to-face ones, with small or medium effect sizes.

Introducción: El desarrollo de programas preventivos eficaces, coste-efectivos y ampliamente accesibles es crucial para reducir la carga de enfermedad relacionada con los TCA. Los programas que usan enfoques basados en la disonancia y los cognitivo-conductuales son los más efectivos para la prevención selectiva. Los programas de prevención universal e indicada deben investigarse más. Y se deben expandir los programas a un rango más amplio de edades, razas y culturas, y abordar múltiples problemas de salud pública como la obesidad y los TCA, problemas relacionados con el peso con factores de riesgo compartidos. El Body Project, MABIC y ZARIMA son exitosos programas de prevención de los problemas relacionados con la alimentación y el peso (PRAP). También se deben realizar intervenciones universales en colaboración con programas de prevención del uso de drogas o conductas sexuales de riesgo. Una evaluación rigurosa de la eficacia, la efectividad, la implementación y la diseminación es necesaria. Podría ser óptimo implementar el Body Project con grupos dirigidos por pares para abordar las barreras asociadas con la intervención dirigida por un clínico. Las limitaciones de los programas tradicionales podrían superarse con intervenciones basadas en Internet y móviles. La intervención basada en Internet podría maximizar el alcance y el impacto de los esfuerzos preventivos. Sin embargo, las pruebas científicas actuales para la prevención de los TCA online son limitadas. Las intervenciones por Internet son menos efectivas que cara a cara, con tamaños del efecto pequeños o medianos.

Chest CT-assessed comorbidities and all-cause mortality risk in COPD patients in the BODE cohort.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: The availability of chest computed tomography (CT) imaging can help diagnose comorbidities associated with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Their systematic identification and relationship with all-cause mortality have not been explored. Furthermore, whether their CT-detected prevalence differs from clinical diagnosis is unknown. METHODS: The prevalence of 10 CT-assessed comorbidities was retrospectively determined at baseline in 379 patients (71% men) with mild to severe COPD attending pulmonary clinics. Anthropometrics, smoking history, dyspnoea, lung function, exercise capacity, BODE (BMI, Obstruction, Dyspnoea and Exercise capacity) index and exacerbations rate were recorded. The prevalence of CT-determined comorbidities was compared with that recorded clinically. Over a median of 78 months of observation, the independent association with all-cause mortality was analysed. A 'CT-comorbidome' graphically expressed the strength of their association with mortality risk. RESULTS: Coronary artery calcification, emphysema and bronchiectasis were the most prevalent comorbidities (79.8%, 62.7% and 33.9%, respectively). All were underdiagnosed before CT. Coronary artery calcium (hazard ratio [HR] 2.09; 95% CI 1.03-4.26, p = 0.042), bronchiectasis (HR 2.12; 95% CI 1.05-4.26, p = 0.036) and low psoas muscle density (HR 2.61; 95% CI 1.23-5.57, p = 0.010) were independently associated with all-cause mortality and helped define the 'CT-comorbidome'. CONCLUSION: This study of COPD patients shows that systematic detection of 10 CT-diagnosed comorbidities, most of which were not detected clinically, provides information of potential use to patients and clinicians caring for them.

SeDREno study - Prevalence of hospital malnutrition according to GLIM criteria, ten years after the PREDyCES study / Estudio SeDREno: prevalencia de la desnutrición hospitalaria según los criterios GLIM, diez años después del estudio PREDyCES

Background & aims: the last large multicenter study on disease-related malnutrition (DRM) in Spain (the PREDyCES study) showed a 23.7 % prevalence of malnutrition, according to the Nutritional Risk Screening (NRS-2002) tool. The main objective of the SeDREno study was to assess the prevalence of hospital malnutrition upon admission, according to GLIM criteria, ten years later. Methods: a cross-sectional, observational, multicenter study in standard clinical practice, conducted in 17 hospitals during a period of five to seven days. Patients were initially screened using the Malnutrition Universal Screening Tool (MUST), and then assessed using the GLIM criteria for diagnosis and severity grading. Results: a total of 2,185 patients, 54.8 % males, mean age 67.1 (17.0) years (50.2 % aged ≥ 70 years), were evaluated. Malnutrition was observed in 29.7 % of patients according to GLIM criteria (12.5 % severe, 17.2 % moderate). In patients ≥ 70 years malnutrition was observed in 34.8 %. The clinical conditions significantly associated with a higher prevalence of malnutrition were dysphagia (47.6 %), cognitive impairment (43.4 %), cancer (39.1 %), gastrointestinal disease (37.7 %), diabetes (34.8 %), and cardiovascular disease (33.4 %). The multivariate analysis revealed that gender, BMI, diabetes, cancer, gastrointestinal disorders, and polypharmacy were the main independent factors associated with DRM. Malnutrition was associated with an increase in length of hospital stay and death (p < 0.001). (AU)

Antecedentes y objetivos: el último gran estudio multicéntrico sobre desnutrición relacionada con la enfermedad (DRE) en España (el estudio PREDyCES) mostró una prevalencia de desnutrición del 23,7 % según la herramienta Nutritional Risk Screening (NRS-2002). El principal objetivo del estudio SeDREno fue evaluar la prevalencia de la desnutrición hospitalaria al ingreso según los criterios GLIM diez años después. Métodos: estudio transversal, observacional, multicéntrico, según la práctica clínica estándar, realizado en 17 hospitales durante un período de cinco a siete días. Los pacientes fueron evaluados inicialmente con la herramienta de detección universal de desnutrición (MUST) y luego con los criterios GLIM para el diagnóstico de DRE y la clasificación de la gravedad. Resultados: se evaluaron 2185 pacientes, con un 54,8 % de varones, una edad media de 67,1 (17,0) años (50,2 % ≥ 70 años). Se observó desnutrición en el 29,7 % de los pacientes según los criterios GLIM (12,5 % grave, 17,2 % moderada). Entre los pacientes ≥ 70 años se observó desnutrición en el 34,8 %. Las condiciones clínicas asociadas significativamente con una mayor prevalencia de desnutrición fueron la disfagia (47,6 %), el deterioro cognitivo (43,4 %), el cáncer (39,1 %), las enfermedades gastrointestinales (37,7 %), la diabetes (34,8 %) y la patología cardiovascular (33,4 %). El análisis multivariante reveló que el sexo, el IMC, la diabetes, el cáncer, los trastornos gastrointestinales y la polimedicación eran los principales factores independientes asociados a la DRE. La desnutrición se asoció a un aumento de la duración de la estancia hospitalaria y la muerte (p < 0,001). (AU)

Psoas Muscle Density Evaluated by Chest CT and Long-Term Mortality in COPD Patients / Densidad del músculo psoas evaluada mediante TC de tórax de baja dosis y mortalidad a largo plazo de los pacientes con EPOC

Rationale: Poor muscle quality in COPD patients relates to exercise intolerance and mortality. Muscle quality can be estimated on computed tomography (CT) by estimating psoas density (PsD). We tested the hypothesis that PsD is lower in COPD patients than in controls and relates to all-cause mortality. Methods: At baseline, PsD was measured using axial low-dose chest CT images in 220 COPD patients, 80% men, who were 65±8 years old with mild to severe airflow limitation and in a control group of 58 subjects matched by age, sex, body mass index (BMI) and body surface area (BSA). COPD patients were prospectively followed for 76.5 (48–119) months. Anthropometrics, smoking history, BMI, dyspnoea, lung function, exercise capacity, BODE index and exacerbations history were recorded. Cox proportional risk analysis determined the factors more strongly associated with long-term mortality. Results: PsD was lower in COPD patients than in controls (40.5 vs 42.5, p=0.045). During the follow-up, 54 (24.5%) deaths occurred in the COPD group. PsD as well as age, sex, pack-year history, FEV1%, 6MWD, mMRC, BODE index, were independently associated with mortality. Multivariate analysis showed that age (HR 1.06; 95% CI 1.02–1.12, p=0.006) and CT-assessed PsD (HR 0.97; 95%CI 0.94–0.99, p=0.023) were the variables independently associated with all-cause mortality. (AU)

Justificación: La baja calidad muscular de los pacientes con enfermedad pulmonar obstructiva crónica (EPOC) se relaciona con la intolerancia al ejercicio y la mortalidad. La calidad del músculo puede estimarse mediante tomografía computarizada (TC) evaluando la densidad del psoas (PsD). Consideramos la hipótesis de que la PsD es menor en los pacientes con EPOC que en los controles y que se relaciona con la mortalidad por todas las causas. Métodos: Al inicio se midió la PsD utilizando las imágenes de TC axial de tórax de baja dosis en 220 pacientes con EPOC, el 80% hombres, de 65 ± 8 años con limitación del flujo aéreo leve a grave y en un grupo control de 58 sujetos emparejados por edad, sexo, índice de masa corporal (IMC) y área de superficie corporal (ASC). Realizamos el seguimiento de los pacientes con EPOC de forma prospectiva durante 76,5 (48-119) meses. Se registraron los datos antropométricos, el historial de tabaquismo, el IMC, la disnea, la función pulmonar, la capacidad de ejercicio, el índice BODE y el historial de exacerbaciones. El análisis de riesgos proporcionales de Cox determinó los factores con mayor asociación con la mortalidad a largo plazo. Resultados: La PsD fue menor en los pacientes con EPOC que en los controles (40,5 vs. 42,5, p = 0,045). Durante el seguimiento, se dieron 54 (24,5%) fallecimientos en el grupo EPOC. Tanto la PsD como la edad, el sexo, el historial de paquetes por año, el FEV1%, la PC6M, la mMRC y el índice BODE se asociaron de forma independiente con la mortalidad.El análisis multivariante mostró que la edad (HR 1,06; IC 95% 1,02-1,12, p = 0,006) y la PsD evaluada mediante TC (HR 0,97; IC 95% 0,94-0,99, p = 0,023) fueron variables asociadas de manera independiente con la mortalidad por todas las causas.

CONCLUSIONS: In COPD patients with mild to severe airflow limitation, chest CT-assessed psoas muscle density was lower than in matched controls and independently associated with long-term mortality. Muscle quality using the easy to evaluate psoas muscle density from chest CT may provide clinicians with important prognostic information in COPD.

Diabetes-specific formulas high in monounsaturated fatty acids and metabolic outcomes in patients with diabetes or hyperglycaemia. A systematic review and meta-analysis.

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to compare the metabolic benefits of diabetes-specific formulas (DSF) high in monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA) with standard formulas (STDF) in adult patients with type 1, type 2 diabetes or stress-induced hyperglycaemia. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS: A systematic review and meta-analysis were conducted through a literature search using different electronic databases from the index date to December 2018. We included randomised controlled trials that assessed the health benefits of high MUFA DSF vs STDF. Included outcomes were glycaemic control, lipid metabolism and tolerance. Effect sizes were calculated as standardised mean differences (SMDs) (<0.4 were considered small, 0.4-0.7 moderate and >0.7 large). This systematic review was registered as CRD42018108931 on Prospero. RESULTS: Of 385 references reviewed, 18 studies involving 845 adults met our inclusion criteria and contributed to the meta-analysis. Use of a high MUFA DSF compared with a STDF was associated with a statistically significant decrease in peak of postprandial glucose [SMD -1.53, 95% confidence interval (CI) -2.44 to -0.61], incremental glucose response (SMD -1.19, 95% CI -1.71 to -0.68), area under the curve of plasma insulin (SMD -0.65, 95% CI -1.03 to -0.26), mean blood glucose level (SMD -0.41, 95% CI -0.63 to -0.19), glycosylated haemoglobin (HbA1c) change (SMD -0.63, 95% CI -1.21 to -0.05), glucose variability (SMD -0.93, -1.55 to -0.31), mean administered insulin dose (SMD -0.49, 95% CI -0.85 to -0.14), mean blood triglycerides (SMD -0.34, 95% CI -0.65 to -0.03) and increase of mean blood high-density lipoproteins (SMD +0.42, 95% CI 0.08 to 0.76). Non-significant differences were found for tolerance [odds ratio (OR) 0.95, 95% CI 0.87 to 1.05]. CONCLUSIONS: This meta-analysis shows that a DSF (oral supplements and tube feeds) high in MUFAs can improve glucose control and metabolic risk factors among patients with diabetes or stress-induced hyperglycaemia compared with a STDF.

GLIM Criteria at Hospital Admission Predict 8-Year All-Cause Mortality in Elderly Patients With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus: Results From VIDA Study.

BACKGROUND: Diabetes and older age are associated with an increased risk of malnutrition and mortality. Recently, the Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition (GLIM) provided a 2-step approach for the malnutrition diagnosis. In this study, we aimed to determine whether GLIM nutrition status at admission was associated with long-term survival in elderly patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Additionally, we aimed to identify which GLIM criteria were more able to become prognostic indicators of early or late death. METHODS: Our study included a convenience sample of 159 patients with T2DM older than 65 years and admitted to the internal medicine wards of different Spanish hospitals: the VIDA-survival cohort. Nutrition status was retrospectively assessed with the new GLIM criteria. The main outcome was long-term mortality in the cohort during an 8-year follow-up. Bivariate tables summarized the variables of interest. Kaplan-Meier survival curves and adjusted Cox regressions were also performed. RESULTS: According to the GLIM criteria, we observed that the 35.8% and 16.3% of the VIDA-survival cohort were categorized as having moderate and severe malnutrition, respectively. Severe malnutrition was associated with increased mortality (hazard ratio [HR] = 2.09; 95% CI, 1.29-3.38), compared with nonmalnourished participants. Moderate malnutrition had a neutral effect on all-cause mortality (HR = 1.30; 95% CI, 0.88-1.92). Low plasma albumin levels, a surrogate marker of inflammation, were strongly associated with early mortality. CONCLUSION: Our study provides evidence that severe malnutrition according to GLIM criteria is associated with increased long-term all-cause mortality among elderly individuals with T2DM.

Eating disorders (ED) are characterized by persistent changes in eating habits that negatively affect a person's health and psychosocial abilities. They are considered psychiatric disorders, highly variable in their presentation and severity, with a huge impact on nutrition, which conditions various therapeutic approaches within a key multidisciplinary context. A group of experts in nutrition, we decided to set up a task force adscribed to the "Sociedad Española de Nutrición Parenteral y Enteral" (SENPE), which has stated as one of its goals the development of a consensus document to generate a protocol based on the best scientific evidence and professional experience available in order to improve health care in this field.

[Consensus document about the nutritional evaluation and management of eating disorders: anorexia nervosa]. / Consenso sobre la evaluación y el tratamiento nutricional de los trastornos de la conducta alimentaria: anorexia nerviosa.

Anorexia nervosa is the most common psychiatric disease among young women and it is assumed to be of multifactorial origin. Diagnostic criteria have recently been modified; therefore amenorrhea has ceased to be a part of them. This disease shows a large variability in its presentation and severity which conditions different therapeutic approaches and the need to individualize the treatment, thus it is indispensable a multidisciplinary approach. The goals are to restore nutritional status (through an individualized diet plan based on a healthy consumption pattern), treat complications and comorbidities, nutritional education (based on healthy eating and nutritional patterns), correction of compensatory behaviors and relapse prevention. The treatment will vary according to the patient's clinical situation, and it may be performed in outpatient clinics (when there is clinical stability), in a day hospital or ambulatory clinic (intermediate mode between traditional outpatient treatment and hospitalization) or hospitalization (when there is outpatient management failure or presence of serious medical or psychiatric complications). Artificial nutrition using oral nutritional supplements, enteral nutrition and exceptionally parenteral nutrition may be necessary in certain clinical settings. In severely malnourished patients the refeeding syndrome should be avoided. Anorexia nervosa is associated with numerous medical complications which determines health status, life quality, and is closely related to mortality. There is little clinical evidence to assess the results of different treatments in anorexia nervosa, when most of the recommendations are being based on expert consensus.

[Consensus document about the nutritional evaluation and management of eating disorders: bulimia nervosa, binge eating disorder, and others]. / Consenso sobre la evaluación y el tratamiento nutricional de los trastornos de la conducta alimentaria: bulimia nerviosa, trastorno por atracón y otros.

Bulimia nervosa and binge eating disorder are unique nosological entities. Both show a large variability related to its presentation and severity which involves different therapeutic approaches and the need to individualize the treatment, thus it is indispensable a multidisciplinary approach. Patients with bulimia nervosa may suffer from malnutrition and deficiency states or even excess weight, while in binge eating disorders, it is common overweight or obesity, which determine other comorbidities. Many of the symptoms and complications are associated with compensatory behaviors. There are many therapeutic tools available for the treatment of these patients. The nutritional approach contemplates the individualized dietary advice which guarantees an adequate nutritional state and nutritional education. Its objective is to facilitate the voluntary adoption of eating behaviors that promote health and allow the long-term modification of eating habits and the cessation of purgatory and bingeing behaviors. Psychological support is a first-line treatment and it must address the frequent disorder of eating behavior and psychiatric comorbidities. Psychotropic drugs are effective and widely used although these drugs are not essential. The management is carried out mainly at an outpatient level, being the day hospital useful in selected patients. Hospitalization should be reserved to correct serious somatic or psychiatric complications or as a measure to contain non-treatable conflict situations. Most of the guidelines' recommendations are based on expert consensus, with little evidence which evaluates clinical results and cost-effectiveness.

Consenso sobre la evaluación y el tratamiento nutricional de los trastornos de la conducta alimentaria: anorexia nerviosa / No disponible

La anorexia nerviosa es la enfermedad psiquiátrica más frecuente entre las mujeres jóvenes y se asume de origen multifactorial. Los criterios diagnósticos han sido recientemente modificados de forma que la amenorrea deja de formar parte de ellos. Esta enfermedad muestra una gran variabilidad en su presentación y gravedad, lo que condiciona diferentes abordajes terapéuticos y la necesidad de individualizar el tratamiento, haciéndose indispensable un enfoque multidisciplinar. Los objetivos persiguen restaurar el estado nutricional (a través de un plan dietético individualizado y basado en un patrón de consumo saludable), tratar las complicaciones y comorbilidades, la educación nutricional (basada en patrones alimentarios y nutricionales sanos), corrección de las conductas compensatorias y la prevención de recaídas. El tratamiento variará según la situación clínica del paciente, pudiendo realizarse en consultas externas (cuando existe estabilidad clínica), en hospital de día (modalidad intermedia entre el tratamiento ambulatorio tradicional y la hospitalización) o en hospitalización (fracaso del manejo ambulatorio o presencia de complicaciones médicas o psiquiátricas graves). La nutrición artificial a través del empleo de suplementos nutricionales orales, nutrición enteral y excepcionalmente nutrición parenteral puede ser necesaria en determinados escenarios clínicos. En pacientes severamente desnutridos se debe evitar el síndrome de realimentación. La anorexia nerviosa está asociada a numerosas complicaciones médicas que condicionan el estado de salud, la calidad de vida y que se relacionan estrechamente con la mortalidad. Existe poca evidencia clínica para evaluar los resultados de los distintos tratamientos en la anorexia nerviosa, estando basados la mayoría de las recomendaciones en consenso de expertos

Consenso sobre la evaluación y el tratamiento nutricional de los trastornos de la conducta alimentaria: bulimia nerviosa, trastorno por atracón y otros / No disponible

La bulimia nerviosa y el trastorno por atracón constituyen entidades nosológicas propias. Ambas muestran una gran variabilidad en su presentación y gravedad, lo que implica la individualización del tratamiento y la necesidad de equipos multidisciplinares. Los pacientes con bulimia nerviosa pueden presentar desde desnutrición y estados carenciales a exceso de peso, mientras que en los trastornos por atracón es habitual el sobrepeso u obesidad, que condiciona a su vez otras comorbilidades. Muchos de los síntomas y complicaciones derivan de las conductas compensatorias. Se dispone de diversas herramientas terapéuticas para el tratamiento de estos pacientes. El abordaje nutricional contempla el consejo dietético individualizado que garantice un adecuado estado nutricional y la correcta educación nutricional. Su objetivo es facilitar la adopción voluntaria de comportamientos alimentarios que fomenten la salud y que permitan la modificación a largo plazo de los hábitos alimentarios y el cese de conductas purgantes y atracones. El soporte psicológico es el tratamiento de primera línea y debe abordar el trastorno de la conducta alimentaria y las comorbilidades psiquiátricas que frecuentemente presentan. Los psicofármacos, aunque eficaces y ampliamente utilizados, no son imprescindibles. El manejo se realiza principalmente a nivel ambulatorio, siendo el hospital de día útil en pacientes seleccionados. Se debe reservar la hospitalización para corregir aquellas complicaciones somáticas o psiquiátricas graves o como medida de contención de las situaciones conflictivas no tratables de forma ambulatoria. La mayoría de las recomendaciones de las guías se basan en consensos de expertos, existiendo poca evidencia que evalúe los resultados clínicos y de coste-eficacia

Malnutrition in hospitalized patients: results from La Rioja.

BACKGROUND: There is a high malnutrition prevalence in hospitalized patients. AIM: To determine the malnutrition prevalence in hospitalized patients of La Rioja Community (Spain) when evaluated with different screening/ evaluation tools and its relationship with hospital stay and mortality. METHODS: Cross sectional observational study of hospitalized adult patients (age > 18 years old) from medical and surgical departments that underwent within 72 h of their admission a nutritional screening with Malnutrition Universal Screening Tool (MUST), Nutritional Risk Screening (NRS) 2002, Controlling Nutritional Status (CONUT) y Subjective Global Assessment (SGA). RESULTS: 384 patients (273 medical and 111 surgical) were evaluated. Almost fifty percent of them were considered malnourished independently of the screening/assessment tool used. High concordance was found between SGA and NRS-2002 (k = 0.758). Malnourished patients had a longer hospital stay than those well-nourished (9.29 vs. 7.10 days; p = 0.002), used a greater number of medicines (9.2 vs. 7.4; p = 0.001) and underwent a higher number of diagnostic tests (16.4 vs. 12.5; p = 0,002). CONCLUSIONS: Half of the hospitalized patients in the medical and surgical department of La Rioja are malnourished. This is associated with a longer hospital stay, higher use of medicines, diagnostics tests and greater mortality. Malnutrition could be detected with easy screening tools to treat it appropriately.

Antecedentes: existe una alta prevalencia de malnutrición en los pacientes hospitalizados. Objetivo: conocer la prevalencia de la desnutrición en la comunidad de La Rioja con distintos métodos de cribado/valoración nutricional y su relación con la estancia media y mortalidad. Métodos: estudio transversal de 384 pacientes mayores de 18 años (273 pacientes en servicios médicos y 111 en servicios quirúrgicos), a los que se les realizó en las primeras 72 horas del ingreso un cribado/valoración nutricional con MUST (Malnutrition Universal Screening Tool), NRS-2002 (Nutritional Risk Screening), CONUT (Controlling Nutritional Status) y VGS (Subjective Global Assessment). Resultados: la desnutrición fue observada en más del 50% de los pacientes independientemente del método de cribado/valoración nutricional utilizado. Existe una fuerte concordancia entre la VGS y el NRS-2002. La desnutrición se relaciona con aumento de la estancia hospitalaria (9,29 vs. 7,10 días; p = 0,002), mayor consumo de fármacos (9,2 vs. 7,4; p = 0,001) y mayor consumo de pruebas diagnósticas durante la estancia hospitalaria (16,4 vs. 12,5; p = 0,002). Conclusiones: uno de cada dos pacientes hospitalizados en la comunidad de La Rioja está desnutrido. La desnutrición se relaciona con aumento de la estancia hospitalaria, aumento de la utilización de pruebas diagnósticas, mayor consumo de medicamentos y aumento de la mortalidad. La desnutrición puede ser detectada con medidas de cribado nutricional sencillas que permitirían tratarla adecuadamente (AU)
