AnnotationFew geriatric assessment programmes have focused on nutritional assessment as a major component of geriatric assessment, despite literature demonstrating that protein-energy undernutrition (PEU) is a common problem in older people. This series of papers discusses: anthropometry and body composition; risk of malnutrition in an elderly population receiving home care services; outcome from protein-energy malnutrition in nursing home residents; and nutrition and morbidity in elderly surgical patients.
