Abstract
This study aimed to establish a cutoff point for detecting malnutrition for mid–upper arm circumference in the supine position. Data were collected from patients (n = 207) by medical records and anthropometric measurements. The cutoff point of the mid–upper arm circumference was obtained from the receiver operating characteristic curve and the highest Youden index. It was found that there is an agreement between mid–upper arm circumference in the standing and supine positions. The mid–upper arm circumference has a strong and significant correlation to body mass index. The mid–upper arm circumference of less than 23.4 cm can be used as an alternative measurement to body mass index for detecting malnutrition.
期刊介绍：
Topics in Clinical Nutrition (TICN) is a peer-reviewed, quarterly journal designed as a resource for the continuing education and clinical practice of dietitians and nutritionists. Each issue addresses topics of interest primarily to dietitians and nutritionists, students and interns in professional training programs and other health care personnel involved in the nutritional care of patients. Articles include translational research reports (work that applies new knowledge to practical effect), practice projects, evidence-based literature reviews, case studies and book reviews, and articles that highlight education theory and applied research which share the tools and techniques of nutrition and dietetics education.
