Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Malnutrition is one of the most common comorbidities in the elderly. Despite several screening and assessment tools, the diagnosis can be difficult in some cases. In the geriatric population, classical anthropometry does not help very much. For that reason there is a need for further diagnostic criteria. Bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) is a fast, low-cost and non-invasive method, which has shown its value in several fields of medicine. Whether this method could be a useful part in the diagnosis of malnutrition in geriatric patients, is the question of this study. In comparison with the Mini-Nutritional Assessment (MNA), serum-albumin and other diagnostic markers of malnutrition, especially the phase angle (50 kHz) of bioelectric impedance analysis showed a consistent correlation with most of the parameters. The calculation of body-fat mass and fat-free mass from bioelectrical impedance analysis is not yet sufficiently validated for geriatric patients. In this study there was no good correlation of the BIA-calculated body-fat mass and fat-free mass with the observed nutritional parameters. © Steinkopff Verlag 2005.
