Low muscle mass and subcutaneous fat loss can be overlooked in patients with excess adiposity, but research shows that they can lead to poor outcomes and all-cause mortality. Nutritional professionals must be equipped to identify muscle and subcutaneous fat loss and malnutrition in this population to provide optimal nutrition interventions, particularly for those at high risk for vitamin and mineral abnormalities. The nutrition-focused physical exam can be a useful tool for assessing malnutrition in this patient population, and other tools such as CT imaging can complement this hands-on assessment.

Learn more about the importance of identifying low muscle mass and subcutaneous fat loss in patients with excess adiposity, and how to use nutrition-focused physical exams and other tools to assess malnutrition and provide optimal nutrition interventions. You will gain insights into the latest research and best practices for nutrition assessment in this population, as well as practical strategies for implementing nutrition interventions to improve outcomes. Don't miss this opportunity to enhance your skills in nutrition assessment and provide optimal care for patients with excess adiposity.
