A study published in theBalearic Islands Aging Yearbook 2025A study presented this Thursday revealed malnutrition in 90% of the residents of a nursing home in Mallorca. The research, authored by geriatrician and gerontologist Oriol Miralles, also confirms this prevalence of malnutrition with sarcopenia (age-related muscle loss) and functional and cognitive decline, with an increased risk of clinical deterioration. The study also notes that despite the incidence of malnutrition, a low rate of nutritional supplementation was detected, especially in mild cases, highlighting the lack of systematic screening and preventative measures.
