Abstract

Assessment of nutritional status of aged adults in ICU is very difficult because of lack of recommendations. Usual human and biomarkers are unuseful. Denutrition and sarcopenia are frequent in ICU. Sarcopenia predicts mortality and must be diagnosed and treated. Subjective global assessment (SGA), Nutrition Risk In Critically Ill Score (NUTRIC score), and CT Scan in the 3rd lumbar vertebra (L3) could be the objective tools for assessment of the nutritional status of aged adults in the ICU.
