In conclusion , decrease in muscle strength and muscle mass in older patients is dependent on the type of admission .
HIGHLIGHTSPhysical inactivity during hospitalization is associated with detrimental outcome .Muscle strength and muscle mass decreased in electively admitted older patients .Muscle strength and muscle mass did not change in acutely admitted older patients
ABSTRACT Hospitalization may induce a decrease of muscle strength and muscle mass in older patients due to physical inactivity , malnutrition and diseases , negatively affecting health outcome .
We aim ed to examine the literature on change in muscle strength and muscle mass in older patients during hospitalization .
Randomized controlled trial of preoperative oral carbohydrate treatment in major abdominal surgery
Major surgery is associated with postoperative insulin resistance which is attenuated by preoperative carbohydrate ( CHO ) treatment . The effect of this treatment on clinical outcome after major abdominal surgery has not been assessed in a double‐blind r and omized trial
