Multicenter Study
[The elderly living alone and malnutrition. SOLGER Study].
This study aims to determine if there are any connections between living alone and suffering from malnutrition or having a risk of being malnourished, in people over 79years old in a Mediterranean population. ⋯ Patients over 79years old and who live alone are nearly always independent for daily life activities, and often have a better state of physical and mental health. These factors could explain their better nutritional status, as living alone is not associated with states of malnutrition or having the risk of suffer from it.
