Abstract
At gerontological patients, a decreasing supply of somatic proteins is presumable. It is probably associated with their lower physical activity as well as lower nutrition intake.
Current malnutrition thereafter leads to an aggravation of the acute disease's development at malnutrited patient. Moreover, there occurs a muscle loss and an aggravation of motion capability during the acute disease.
Well-managed prevention of malnutrition at gerontological patients and well-timed nutritive intervention during the acute disease increase the probability of improvement of their quality of life.
