PURPOSE OF REVIEW: A new nutrition-related risk assessment tool, the Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index (GNRI), has been recently proposed. The aim of this review is to summarize current evidences on the use of this tool with particular focus on the rationales of its application in elderly healthcare. RECENT FINDINGS: Structured as a dichotomous index, based on serum albumin values and the discrepan...<br/><br/>Emanuele Cereda, Carlo Pedrolli (2009) <i>Curr Opin Clin Nutr Metab Care</i> <i></i> <i></i> 12: 1 1-7<br/>

The Mini Nutritional Assessment (MNA) is recommended for grading nutritional status in the elderly. A new index for predicting the risk of nutrition-related complications, the Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index (GNRI), was recently proposed but little is known about its possible use in the assessment of nutritional status. Thus, we aimed to investigate its ability to assess the nutritional status an...<br/><br/> Cereda, Pusani, Limonta, Vanotti (2009) <i>Br J Nutr</i> <i></i> <i></i> : 1-8<br/>

OBJECTIVE: We describe a case of refractory myasthenia gravis with bulbar involvement and the nutritional treatment solutions proposed to treat the associated dysphagia and malnutrition. METHODS: A 39-y-old woman with refractory myasthenia gravis was referred to our clinical nutrition unit for deteriorating dysphagia and progressive malnutrition. RESULTS: The first-line nutritional approach consis...<br/><br/> Cereda, Beltramolli, Pedrolli, Costa (2009) <i>Nutrition</i> <i></i> <i></i> : <br/>

OBJECTIVES: To investigate whether a disease-specific nutritional approach is more beneficial than a standard dietary approach to the healing of pressure ulcers (PUs) in institutionalized elderly patients. DESIGN: Twelve-week follow-up randomized controlled trial (RCT). SETTING: Four long-term care facilities in the province of Como, Italy. PARTICIPANTS: Twenty-eight elderly subjects with Stage II...<br/><br/> Cereda, Gini, Pedrolli, Vanotti (2009) <i>J Am Geriatr Soc</i> <i></i> <i></i> : <br/>

BACKGROUND & AIMS: A new tool, the Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index (GNRI), was recently proposed to predict short-term complications in elderly medical patients but no information is available when long-term follow-up periods are considered. METHODS: A 3-year follow-up study in 245 institutionalised elderly (51 M:194 F; 83.7+/-8.6 years). Nutritional risk was graded by GNRI (severe, <82; moderate...<br/><br/>Emanuele Cereda, Annunciata Zagami, Alfredo Vanotti, Silvano Piffer, Carlo Pedrolli (2008) <i>Clin Nutr</i> <i></i> <i></i> 27: 5 717-723<br/>

OBJECTIVE: To investigate how total lymphocyte count (TLC) and the Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index (GNRI) are associated with short-term nutritional-related complications (death, infections, bedsores) in institutionalised elderly. METHODS: 220 home-care resident elderly (age +/- SD; 80.7 +/- 7.9, range: 67-98 years) were studied (anthropometry, biochemistry, food intake) and prospectively followe...<br/><br/>Emanuele Cereda, Chiara Pusani, Daniela Limonta, Alfredo Vanotti (2008) <i>J Am Coll Nutr</i> <i></i> <i></i> 27: 3 406-413<br/>

BACKGROUND & AIMS: To possibly validate the use of Mini Nutritional Assessment (MNA) with respect to functional status in institutionalised elderly. METHODS: One hundred twenty-three long-term care resident elderly (85.3+/-8.4 years) were recruited. Nutritional and functional states were assessed by MNA and Barthel Index (BI), respectively. Main inclusion criterion was a MNA<23.5. Anthropometric, ...<br/><br/>Emanuele Cereda, Laura Valzolgher, Carlo Pedrolli (2008) <i>Clin Nutr</i> <i></i> <i></i> 27: 5 700-705<br/>

BACKGROUND & AIMS: To possibly investigate the validity of the Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index (GNRI) in predicting muscle dysfunction among the uncomplicated elderly when coupled and compared with short dietary assessment. METHODS: A total of 130 (61 males and 69 females) stable-weight, over 70-years-old elderly patients were studied according to anthropometry, handgrip strength (HG) and simple ...<br/><br/>Emanuele Cereda, Alfredo Vanotti (2008) <i>Clin Nutr</i> <i></i> <i></i> 27: 1 126-132<br/>

BACKGROUND & AIMS: The validity of Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index (GNRI), in predicting nutrition-related risk of complications in the elderly, has been recently underscored. Malnutrition may results also in muscle function impairment. Thus, the present study aims to investigate if GNRI might be a reliable detector of muscle dysfunction in institutionalized older people.

BACKGROUND: The Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index (GNRI) is a new index recently introduced for predicting risk of nutritional-related complications in elderly patients. It combines albumin with information about body weight: GNRI = (1.489 x albumin, g/l) + (41.7 x present/ideal body weight), with ideal weight calculated according to the Lorentz formula. Because standing height (SH) is frequently d...<br/><br/>Emanuele Cereda, Daniela Limonta, Chiara Pusani, Alfredo Vanotti (2007) <i>Gerontology</i> <i></i> <i></i> 53: 4 184-186<br/>

BACKGROUND: Nutrition problems are common in cancer patients and are frequently due to metabolic derangements. Thus, accurately assessing energy expenditure (EE) is important in planning adequate nutrition support. Indirect calorimetry (IC) represents the gold standard method but is not always available or applicable to all settings. The purpose of this study was to preliminary compare a new weara...<br/><br/>Emanuele Cereda, Mauro Turrini, Denis Ciapanna, Laura Marbello, Angelo Pietrobelli, Ettore Corradi (2007) <i>JPEN J Parenter Enteral Nutr</i> <i></i> <i></i> 31: 6 502-507<br/>
