Association between nutrition intake and muscle mass in adult inpatients receiving nutrition support: A prospective cohort study

CONCLUSION: There can be an association between the variation in muscle mass and energy and protein intake during hospitalization of patients using nutrition support. In addition, variation in muscle mass was associated with complications from nutrition support. The results emphasize the importance of anthropometric measurements to estimate muscle mass when other methods are not available.PMID:38417176 | DOI:10.1002/jpen.2611
