Objective: To explore and analyze the correlation between frailty syndrome and nutritional status in elderly inpatients. Methods: In the specific implementation of this study, 76 elderly inpatients in our hospital will be selected to participate in the experiment, 38 cases confirmed to have frailty syndrome, named as the observation group, the other 38 cases without frailty syndrome, named as the control group, and the clinical treatment of the two groups of elderly patients were compared, explore the correlation between frailty syndrome and nutritional status. Results: Firstly, the body weight and BMI of the two groups were compared, the observation group were (47.51±0.69) kg and (17.64±2.89), and the control group were (68.17±1.89) kg and (22.29±2.63), respectively. The observation group was significantly lower than the control group (P < 0.05). Moreover, the proportion of cognitive dysfunction, malnutrition and daily function deficiency in the observation group was significantly higher than that in the control group (P < 0.05). Conclusion: The nutritional status of elderly inpatients has a certain correlation with frailty syndrome, which makes patients prone to risk problems in clinical treatment and nursing. Attention should be paid to the pertinence and effectiveness of frailty syndrome treatment in clinical work.
