Loss of body tissues resulting in wasting is a common phenotype for several different conditions which can be caused by a combination of reduced food intake, excessive requirements, altered metabolism, sepsis, trauma, ageing and inactivity. They have been referred to loosely as “malnutrition" but not all will respond to simply providing nutrients. This webinar will provide a review of phenotypes: Malnutrition, Cachexia and Sarcopenia, their common features and the differences as they relate to cause and response to treatment.
At the end of this webinar, the participant will be able to:
- Understand the key concept that is fundamental in the diagnosis of malnutrition
- Make a distinction between malnutrition and the wasting conditions cachexia and sarcopenia.
