Abstract:
Malnutrition and dehydration are prevalent in the elderly poplulation, and obesity is also a growing problem, which pose a serious challenge to the nutritional management in geriatrics. In order to better guide clinical practice, the European Society for Clinical Nutrition and Metabolism (ESPEN) published the practical guideline on clinical nutrition and hydration in geria-trics on March 5, 2022. This guideline provides 82 recommendations on clinical nutrition and hydration in geriatrics based on clinical practicability, covering basic problems and general prin-ciples, prevention and treatment of malnutrition/nutri-tional risk, prevention and treatment of specific diseases, as well as prevention and treatment of obesity, along with flow-charts, hoping to be convenient for doctors, nutritionists and nurses to use in clinical practice.
