(1) Background: Impaired nutritional status in systemic sclerosis (SSc) is prevalent. (2) Objective: This study aimed to identify pre-cachexia and malnutrition in SSc patients and to estimate the effe...
Clinical evidence has suggested that oral function is associated with cognitive, physical, and nutritional status of older people. A smaller volume of masseter, a crucial muscle for mastication, was a...
We recruited 19 patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI), 15 patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD), and 28 sex and age-matched non-cognitive impairment (non-CI) older subjects. The number of mis...
The MVI was significantly lower in the AD group, compared to the MCI as well as the non-CI group. Multiple regression analyses revealed that the MVI was significantly associated with nutritional statu...
Our findings suggested that in addition to the NMT and MP, masseter volume is a critical oral factor associated with cognitive impairment....
Reduction of MVI should be carefully monitored for patients with dementia and frailty, to whom a lower MVI may indicate worse nutrient intake....
Iron is an essential nutrient for a child's proper development at every growth stage. It is crucial for the production of red blood and muscle cells, DNA replication, and the development of the brain,...
Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) involves muscle fragility, sarcolemma instability, and chronic inflammation. This study aims to identify the inflammatory profile of DMD patients and evaluate associa...
We performed a cross-sectional study nested in a cohort to obtain sociodemographics, illness time, use of medications, and supplement data through interviews and the patient's medical records. Then, w...
Forty-four male participants, aged 4.3-24.2 years, were evaluated. Concerning nutritional status, 18 participants were eutrophic. The fat mass increased and the lean mass decreased from the beginning ...
A persistent inflammatory profile was observed in the patients evaluated. The data suggest that maintaining adequate nutritional status and body composition is important for determining the inflammati...
Malnutrition is underdiagnosed in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease....
This study aimed to evaluate the nutritional status of COPD patients and the link between dyspnea and nutritional status....
This longitudinal observational study included patients hospitalized with exacerbated COPD. Nutritional status was assessed using Nutrition Risk Screening 2002, anthropometric, and biochemical assessm...
Thirty patients were evaluated. According to the Nutrition Risk Screening 2002, half of the patients were at increased risk of malnutrition. 36.7% were classified as malnourished if we only considered...
The number of patients classified as malnourished changed with the method under analysis. The tricipital skin fold parameter was strongly associated with the dyspnea score. Most patients had adipose t...
This observational study carried out to determine the incidence of poor nutritional status and symptom burden in children undergoing chemotherapy treatment....
The research data collected from 187 children between the ages of 7-18 at pediatric hematology-oncology units in Izmir. The data of the study collected with Screening Tool for Risk of impaired Nutriti...
Patients reported a mean (SD) of 14.1 (8.1; range, 1-30) symptoms, and 43.9% were underweight. According to the STRONGkids, 62% had a high risk for malnutrition. The incidence of all symptoms increase...
Most of the patients were at high risk of malnutrition. It observed that chemotherapy treatment led to malnutrition. The patients with high risk for malnutrition according to the STRONGkids and severe...
To identify, appraise, and describe studies focussing on the nutritional characteristics of people experiencing homelessness (PEH)....
Systematic (narrative) review....
We identified full-text studies of any design and in the English language of adults (≥18 years) fulfilling the European Typology criteria for homelessness, based in community or hospital settings, and...
A total of 1130 studies were identified and retrieved. After screening, six studies were included for review: three cross-sectional studies; two case-control studies; and one randomised control trial,...
A majority of PEH are within unhealthy BMI ranges and are deficient in serum micronutrients and nutritional biomarkers. Studies using large data sets that examine multiple aspects of nutrition are nee...
This systematic review is based on a prespecified protocol registered with the International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews (PROSPERO CRD42021218900)....
Adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD) is a rare X-linked metabolic disorder that causes the accumulation of very-long-chain fatty acids (VLCFAs) (C26:0) and the subsequent variety of clinical and neurological sy...
All patients underwent a clinical and neurological evaluation and a comprehensive nutritional assessment. The association of VLCFA concentrations with dietary lipids was assessed....
Nine boys (11.49 ± 3.61 years) were enrolled in a cross-sectional study. All patients were normal weight, with normal resting energy expenditure. Only six of nine patients followed the low-fat diet an...
No children were found to be malnourished or overweight or obese; however, half of the children reported excessive body fat, probably as a result of the pharmacotherapies. A low-fat diet could be adju...
In Brazil, the Food and Nutrition Surveillance System (SISVAN) is the main tool in collecting and consolidating information on the nutritional status and the feeding habits of the population encompass...
A low Prognostic Nutritional Index (PNI) value, which reflects immune nutrition and inflammation around the tumor, is associated with an unfavorable prognosis, and it was aimed to reveal its prognosti...
In our retrospective cross-sectional study, patients with a diagnosis of metastatic colorectal disease without active infection, between January 2010 and December 2016 were included. The PNI values at...
The mean PNI value of 253 patients included in the study was 46.6. While 53.75% (n = 136) of the patients had a PNI value of 46.6 and above, 46.25% (n = 117) had a PNI value below 46.6. The overall su...
PNI is a simple and inexpensive index that evaluates the immunonutritional status, and it is a prognostic marker that can be easily used in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer as in other cance...
