Association of Preoperative Nutritional Status with Sarcopenia in Patients with Gastrointestinal Malignancies Assessed by Global Leadership Initiative in Malnutrition Criteria: A Prospective Cohort Study
This study highlights the urgent need for nutritional screening in early gastrointestinal tumor patients, revealing a strong link between sarcopenia and malnutrition. Higher malnutrition levels, low BMI, and high nutritional risk significantly predict sarcopenia, with risk increasing alongside worsening malnutrition and disease stage.
