Methods:  crosscutting study with 200 patients hospitalized in a large hospital in the South of Brazil during three months. Evaluations, lab tests and interviews through questionnaires were performed.  Results:  the average albuminemia was 2,9 \u00b1 0,5g\/dL. Hypoalbuminemia was diagnosed in 173 subjects (87%) and was absent in 27 (13%) that have normal albuminemia (p=0,000). After six days of hospitalization, the prevalence of low levels grew significantly to 90% (p=0,002), average 2,7 \u00b1 0,5g\/dL. Using the Mini Nutritional Assessment, it was observed that 41 patients were malnourished and from those, 40 had hypoalbuminemia.  Conclusion:  the prevalence of hypoalbuminemia proved to be high, in approx. nine in ten elders, and the nutritional status and the length of stay proved to be related to the decrease of serum albumin levels. Thus, it is suggested that monitoring albumin levels should be done to evaluate the risk that the patient has to develop malnutrition and other complications during hospital stays.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1590\/1518-8345.0260.2736","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,8,6]],"date-time":"2016-08-06T12:51:11Z","timestamp":1470487871000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":60,"title":["Prevalence of hypoalbuminemia and nutritional issues in hospitalized elders"],"prefix":"10.1590","volume":"24","author":[{"given":"Felipe","family":"Brock","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Universidade Regional Integrada do Alto Uruguai e das Miss\u00f5es,  Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Luiz Antonio","family":"Bettinelli","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universidade de Passo Fundo,  Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Taise","family":"Dobner","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universidade de Passo Fundo,  Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"J\u00falio C\u00e9sar","family":"Stobbe","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Hospital S\u00e3o Vicente de Paulo,  Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Gabriela","family":"Pomatti","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universidade de Passo Fundo,  Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Cristina Trevizan","family":"Telles","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universidade de Passo Fundo,  Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"530","reference":[{"issue":"7","key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1460","DOI":"10.1590\/0102-311X00128914","article-title":"Viver mais e melhor Estimativas de expectativa de vida saud\u00e1vel para a popula\u00e7\u00e3o brasileira","volume":"31","author":"Camargos MCS","year":"2015","journal-title":"Cad Sa\u00fade P\u00fablica"},{"key":"ref2","first-page":"45","article-title":"Avalia\u00e7\u00e3o global de idosos em unidades de PSF","volume":"7","author":"Pacheco RO","year":"2004","journal-title":"Textos Envelhecimento"},{"issue":"5","key":"ref3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"687","DOI":"10.1590\/S0034-89102004000500011","article-title":"Impacto funcional da interna\u00e7\u00e3o hospitalar de pacientes idosos","volume":"38","author":"Siqueira AB","year":"2004","journal-title":"Rev Sa\u00fade P\u00fablica"},{"issue":"2","key":"ref4","first-page":"367","article-title":"Desnutri\u00e7\u00e3o como fator de risco para o desenvolvimento de \u00falceras por press\u00e3o","volume":"21","author":"Serpa LF","year":"2008","journal-title":"Acta Paul Enferm"},{"issue":"3","key":"ref5","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"339","DOI":"10.1590\/S1415-52732004000300007","article-title":"Albumina s\u00e9rica como marcador nutricional de pacientes em hemodi\u00e1lise","volume":"17","author":"Draibe AS","year":"2004","journal-title":"Rev Nutr"},{"issue":"4","key":"ref6","first-page":"273","article-title":"Idosos hospitalizados estado nutricional, dieta, doen\u00e7a e tempo de interna\u00e7\u00e3o","volume":"22","author":"Gaino NM","year":"2007","journal-title":"Rev Bras Nutri\u00e7\u00e3o Cl\u00edn"},{"issue":"1","key":"ref7","first-page":"7","article-title":"Desnutri\u00e7\u00e3o, tempo de interna\u00e7\u00e3o e mortalidade em um hospital geral do Sul do Brasil","volume":"4","author":"Marcadenti A","year":"2011","journal-title":"Rev Ci\u00eanc Sa\u00fade"},{"issue":"2","key":"ref8","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"145","DOI":"10.1590\/S0104-42302010000200010","article-title":"Albuminemia e terapia medicamentosa no progn\u00f3stico de idosos hospitalizados","volume":"56","author":"Salgado FXC","year":"2010","journal-title":"Rev Assoc M\u00e9d Bras"},{"issue":"06","key":"ref9","first-page":"456","article-title":"Overview of the MNA(r) - Its History and Challenges","volume":"10","author":"Vellas B","year":"2006","journal-title":"J Nutr Health Aging"},{"issue":"09","key":"ref10","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"782","DOI":"10.1007\/s12603-009-0214-7","article-title":"Validation of the Mini Nutritional Assessment Short-Form (MNA(r)-SF) A practical tool for identification of nutritional status","volume":"13","author":"Kaiser MJ","year":"2009","journal-title":"J Nutr Health Aging"},{"issue":"1","key":"ref11","first-page":"81","article-title":"Avalia\u00e7\u00e3o antropom\u00e9trica em idosos estimativas de peso e altura e concord\u00e2ncia entre classifica\u00e7\u00f5es de IMC.
