Malnutrition prevalence according to glim and its feasibility in geriatric patients: A prospective cross-sectional study

Rationale: In 2019, the Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition (GLIM) suggested a 2-step diagnostic format for malnutrition including screening and diagnosis. Prospective validation and feasibility studies, using the complete set of the five GLIM criteria, are needed. Aims of this study were to assess feasibility of GLIM in geriatric patients. Furthermore, we evaluated how malnutrition prevalence varied with mode of screening.
