Abstract Between 20% and 50% of patients admitted to hospitals are affected by malnutrition. In a hospital setting, malnutrition can be caused by iatrogenic factors, obstacles to nutrient intake, and the complex physiological and metabolic changes that occur during the acute inflammatory response. These changes disrupt the body's natural process of utilizing nutrients, leading to hypermetabolism and/or catabolism. Sarcopenia is thought to be common in the elderly, particularly those living in nursing homes or hospitals. The decrease of physical function, muscle mass, and muscle strength is known as sarcopenia. In terms of malnutrition and sarcopenia among older adult hospital inpatients, an extensive overview of the corpus of recent research is provided by this review. It also outlines the challenges that can be overcome to improve nutrition assistance across care episodes.The objective is to assess the occurrence of malnourishment and sarcopenia in senior hospital patients, we examined 31 research publications. Using test findings for body composition, BMI, hypertension, handgrip strength, the Chair Stand Test, and handgrip strength, the effects of malnutrition and sarcopenia were examined in inpatient older individuals over the age of 60.The study of malnutrition and sarcopenia consequences among hospital inpatients involved a total of 14256 older adult participants. The analysis reveals that among hospitalised Elderly patients over 60, The frequency of sarcopenia was 26.7% and malnutrition was 28.6%. Elderly persons with malnutritional effects had greater rates of sarcopenia, suggesting that malnutrition was a significant cause to sarcopenia.
