RESUMEN
2 months were selected. Anthropometric measurements, laboratory examinations and dietary surveys were used to assess the nutritional status. ResultsBody weight(53.714.6)kg and body mass index (BMI) (19.34.6)kg/m~2were in low normal range. Total lymphocyte counts (2.000.71)10~9/L and serum transferrin contents (1.800.44)g/L were decreased and the creatinine-height index (42.4321.82)% was obviously lower than normal range of adult. ConclusionsThese patients have energy deficiency. The changes of the mentioned parameters could be the reflection of the nutritional status of these patients and also closely related to the changes of their body composition. It is necessary to evaluate nutritional state of the elderly patients. However, the characteristics of the body composition of the elderly patients should not be ignored and a global assessment is needed.

Methods The nutrition status of 100 elderly patients〔male 52, female 48, aged 60-83 yrs, with average of (69.2?0.7)yrs〕 with type 2 diabetes was investigated by analyzing nutrient content in daily diet, body measurement and laboratory examinations. Results Compared with the ideal body weight, total calorie intake was suitable for the elderly patients〔male: (1592?216) kCal, female: (1320?172) kCal〕, fat intake 〔male:(67?12) g, female:(65?13)g〕 was higher than the standard for diabetics(P
