Abstract
<p class="first" id="d87351e101">The Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition
(GLIM) released new criteria for
diagnosing and grading malnutrition. This study aimed to investigate the optimal reference
values of body mass index (BMI) for discriminating severe malnutrition according to
the GLIM criteria, as well as the prevalence of GLIM-defined malnutrition in the clinical
setting.
