The objectives of the present study are: 1) to characterize the energy-protein intake of the elderly during hospitalization; 2) to verify the influence of energy-protein intake during hospitalization on muscular (i.e., cross-sectional area of the rectus femoris and vastus lateralis muscles, muscle strength, functionality and level of independence) and clinical (i.e., length of hospital stay, hospital readmission and mortality) at the time of hospital discharge, 2 and 6 months after hospital discharge and; 3) to verify whether energy-protein intake during hospitalization is a significant predictor of loss of function and muscle mass, length of hospital stay, hospital readmission rate and mortality.

| From date of admission until the date of medical discharge. Up to 30 days. |
| Functional independence | Functional independence will be assessed using Barthel Index. The scores range from 0 to 100. A score of 100 means the individual is fully independent, while lower scores indicate increasing levels of dependence. | From date of admission until the date of medical discharge. Up to 30 days. |
| Length of hospital stay | Length of hospital stay will be the time (in days) until medical discharge. | From date of admission until the date of medical discharge. Up to 30 days. |
| Mortality | Mortality rate in percent | From date of admission until the date of medical discharge. Up to 30 days. |
| Hospital readmission post-medical discharge | Hospital readmission post-medical discharge will be the number of times that he is admitted in the hospital post-medical discharge. | 1- and 2- months post-medical discharge |
