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.

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.

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.

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).

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.

Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to assess the prevalence of malnutrition in hospitalized elderly diabetic patients using new criteria from the European Society for Clinical Nutrition and Metabolism (ESPEN).
  • This involved screening 1014 patients, determining malnutrition based on body mass index (BMI) and unintentional weight loss.
  • Results showed that 6.73% were malnourished, with malnutrition linked to longer hospital stays, increased mortality risk, and lower chances of being discharged home.
