The techniques of nutritional assessment used included anthropometric measurements (weight\/height, triceps skinfold, arm\u2010muscle and arm circumference), biochemical and hematologic tests (serum albumin, serum transferrin, total lymphocyte count, hemoglobin, and hematocrit), and an intradermal skin test for cell mediated immunity. The prevalence of protein\u2010calorie malnutrition (PCM) of moderate to severe degree was very high by currently used standards (weight\/height, 43%; triceps skinfold, 37%; arm\u2010muscle circumference, 85%; serum albumin, 32%; serum transferrin, 38%; and total lymphocyte counts, 22%). Anemia was found in 52% of the men and 14% of the women by normal adult standards; in addition, 19% of the patients had negative cell\u2010mediated immunity (CMI) tests. The mortality rate during the 6 months after surveying was 13% for the immunocompetent (CMI\u2010positive) patients and 48% for the anergic (CMI\u2010negative). These findings confirm that PCM is prevalent in 85% of nursing home patients according to currently accepted nutritional assessment standards. In this nursing home population, 48% had marasmus, 35% had marasmus\u2010kwashiorkor mixed syndrome, and 2% had kwashiorkor. Perhaps new standards need to be derived for such specific age groups as the elderly.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/014860718000400406","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,7,6]],"date-time":"2017-07-06T07:49:45Z","timestamp":1499327385000},"page":"367-370","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":41,"title":["Nutritional Status of Nursing Home Patients"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"4","author":[{"given":"Harry J.","family":"Shaver","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Judy A.","family":"Loper","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Richard A.","family":"Lutes","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[1980,7]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_1_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/jama.1976.03260410023017"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/jama.1974.03240060028025"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"132","DOI":"10.1016\/S0002-8223(21)05696-0","article-title":"Nutritional status of elderly men and women","volume":"73","author":"Steidemann M","year":"1978","journal-title":"J Am Diet Assoc"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_5_2","unstructured":"Ten\u2010State Nutrition Survey 1968\u20131970.
