Malnutrition: an overlooked geriatric syndrome in older adults with type 2 diabetes
摘要
Geriatric syndromes represent major clinical conditions that substantially impair functional capacity and quality of life. An increasing number of studies are being published that investigate the prevalence and co-occurrence of geriatric syndromes across diverse clinical settings, including oncology, chronic kidney disease, and dementia. Interestingly, malnutrition, a core and long-recognized geriatric syndrome, is frequently neglected in studies involving Type 2 diabetes mellitus.
