Brief summary

The aim of this study is to correlate weight variation as well as body composition with mortality and unscheduled readmission of geriatric population

Detailed description

Weight loss in obese adults confers health benefits, while weight loss in the elderly is associated with an increased risk of mortality. There are a large number of studies associating weight loss and mortality but the relationships between changes in body composition (ratio between fat mass and lean mass) and mortality are often contradictory and poorly understood in elderly subject. The aim at this study is to request at this question.
