title: [Should caregivers be concerned with the nutritional state of elderly patients?].
abstract: A geriatric syndrome in its own right, malnutrition must be systematically looked for whenever an elderly patient is being treated. A marker of vulnerability, once identified it requires repeated assessment and adapted treatment. Undernutrition is often the consequence of various aetiologies justifying a full assessment and an assertive, multi-professional treatment.
