Inflammation's effect on muscle in hospitalized patients
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Hormones & metabolism, Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
This study tests whether inflammation affects muscle loss in older hospitalized patients who are malnourished. It could help find ways to protect muscle strength during a hospital stay.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are currently a patient in the geriatric ward at Bispebjerg Hospital and expected to stay at least 7 days.
- You have been diagnosed with disease-related malnutrition (malnutrition caused by an illness).
- You are physically able to do strength training (like light weight lifting or resistance exercises).
- You are not taking any anti-inflammatory medications (such as ibuprofen, prednisone, etc.).
- You do not have liver failure, short bowel syndrome, Crohn’s disease, colitis, or a terminal illness.

This study looks at nutrition, inflammation, kidney function, aging, body composition, and hydration in older patients who are hospitalized. It aims to understand how these factors affect recovery and health.
This trial tests whether a personalized diet and exercise program can help older adults avoid losing function while in the hospital. If you are staying in a geriatric ward and can follow instructions, this study may help you stay stronger and more independent.
This study looks at how nutrition and patient characteristics affect hospital stay, recovery, and survival in older adults. It aims to understand how a patient's nutritional status may influence their health outcomes during and after hospitalization.
This study tests whether a specific type of strength training reduces inflammation in the body for adults aged 60–75. Researchers will measure how your body responds to this training over time.
This study looks at how much food older adults eat while in the hospital and whether that affects their muscles and recovery. It may help understand the role nutrition plays in staying strong during a hospital stay.
This study looks at how diet and gut health relate to muscle loss (sarcopenia) in adults 60 and older. It aims to understand links between inflammation, gut bacteria, and muscle strength so we can find better ways to prevent frailty.
