To identify patients with a greater risk of micronutrient deficiency, we distributed patients into three groups: MNA < 17 points (30 patients, 20.8%) vs. MNA >17 points (114 patients, 79.1%); hypoalbuminemia (19 patients, 13.2%) vs. albumin >= 35 g/L (125 patients, 86.8%); and malnourished patients (either MNA < 17 or presenting hypoalbuminemia; 39 patients, 27%) vs. well-nourished (MNA > 17 and albumin > 35 g/L; 105 patients, 72.9%). Here, ALB is linked to Hypoalbuminemia.
