Unintentional weight loss or weight loss may result from fat loss muscle loss , water loss , or a combination. [1 ] [2 ] It is generally considered a medical problem, if at least 10% of body weight of an elderly person was lost in six months [1 ] to 5 % last month. 3 ] Another criterion used to evaluate the weight is too low, the body mass index ( BMI). [4 ] However, less weight loss reasons of great concern for the frail elderly . [5
Unintentional weight loss can occur through poor nutritional diet , compared to the energy needs of a person (usually as malnutrition ) . Course of the disease , associated with a related disease or treatment changes in metabolism , hormonal changes medications or other treatments, diseases or changes in diet for treatment, or loss of appetite may also cause loss of unintentional weight . [ 1] [2 ] [ 6] [7 ] [8] The weight loss can be strong quality of life in the efficacy of treatment or recovery , reducing aggravate the disease process and be a risk factor for early mortality . [1 ] [5 ] Malnutrition can affect all body functions , the cells of the more complex functions, including : [4
Immune response
Wound healing
Muscle strength ( including respiratory muscles
Exhaustion Nierenleistungund , disturbances of water and electrolytes thermoregulation and Menstruation
In addition , it can lead to malnutrition and vitamin deficiencies and other inactivity . , Other problems such as scars may predispose [4
Unintentional weight loss may be the main feature in the diagnosis of diseases such as cancer [1 ] and type 1 diabetes
Continuous weight loss may worsen in the waste, called cachexia been loosely defined . [5 ] differs from hunger because cachexia is a systemic inflammatory response. [5 ] It is associated with worse outcomes. [1] [ 5] [6
In the UK, up to 5 % of the general population is low, but more than 10 % of patients with lung or gastrointestinal surgery recently . [4 ] According to the UK with malnutrition screening ( universal "must" ), which is the involuntary loss of weight is more than 10% of the population over 65 years at risk of malnutrition . [4 ] A high proportion (10-60 % ) of patients in the hospital are also at risk , as well as a similar proportion in nursing homes . [4
