N2 - Malnutrition is regularly associated with weight loss and changes in body composition, which lead to an increase in disability, complications and mortality. Bioelectric impedance analysis (BIA) is a simple and non-invasive bedside body composition analysis technique. In particular, bioelectric impedance phase angle (PA) has been shown to predict prognosis and mortality in several clinical conditions. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship of BIA measurements and hospital mortality in multimorbid geriatric patients. The data obtained from the routine clinical admissions of 1071 consecutive patients (783 women and 288 men, age 81.4±8.5 years) to a geriatric hospital unit was analyzed retrospectively. A significant difference of PA (50 kHz) between survivors (4.2±1.1°) and non-survivors (3.6±1.2°; p
