Morphometric and clinical analysis and nutritional and dietary management of malnourished adult patients in the Marrakech Tensift Al Haouz region, Morocco
This study examined the morphometric and clinical aspects as well as the nutritional and dietary management of undernourished adult patients in the Marrakech Tensift Al Haouz region, Morocco. It highlighted the specific challenges faced by these patients, in particular the significant differences in nutritional requirements and management strategies. Our results showed a significant increase in caloric intake from 19.97±0.64 kcal/kg/d to 27.23±0.12 kcal/kg/d for all patients. Muscle mass increased from 16.71±4.76 kg to 18.75±3.58 kg. The mean albumin increased to 35.9 g/L, indicating an improved protein reserve. Similarly, pre-albumin increased to 186.3 mg/dL, suggesting a rapid response to nutritional intake. At the same time, C-reactive protein levels fell, indicating a reduction in systemic inflammation. In addition, it is important to note that body mass index differed between the sexes, with women tending to gain muscle mass more slowly than men. The results highlight the urgent need to adopt a personalized approach to improving the health and well-being of undernourished patients by adjusting nutritional and dietary interventions to the specific needs of each individual.
