Prevalencia de desnutrición en afectados de esclerosis múltiple que reciben tratamiento rehabilitador en los hospitales de día de la Fundació Esclerosi Múltiple

Malnutrition is a major problem in MS patients, as only 20.4% of the sample had a satisfactory nutritional status. It seems that there may be a relationship between the degree of disability and the occurrence of this problem, in patients with low levels of disabilities there are no cases of malnutrition. If we take into account the symptom of dysphagia observed in 76.92% of patients without dysphagia are at risk of malnutrition or are malnourished. This fact opens the door to look for other symptoms or situations that have a negative impact on health status.
