Muscle Mass and Nutritional Risk in Older Adults

Completed

Conditions studied: Healthy

In brief

This study aims to compare the COAST (comprehensive older adult screening tool) to muscle mass as determined by BIA (bioelectric impedance analysis) and thus, determine if the COAST is a valid predictor of muscle loss in older adults. This study follows a comparison of COAST to MNA and will further test the validity of the COAST nutrition screening tool.
