Coronary artery bypass grafting surgery is increasingly performed in adults
aged 65 and older. Older adults are vulnerable to undernutrition, and as they
undergo coronary artery bypass grafting surgery, their nutrition status must
be considered carefully. The present review focuses on nutrition risk factors
unique to older adults who undergo coronary artery bypass grafting
surgery.
