Biography
Nivetha Natarajan Gavriilidou has her expertise in Dentistry and Geriatric Epidemiology and passion in improving the health and wellbeing of elderly adults. Her research efforts in Swedish geriatric nutritional studies open doors for possibilities for interdisciplinary research for example, i.e., oral health among elderly and multi-morbidity. The current study shows that there is an age-related misclassification of undernutrition and obesity attributed to inaccurate height estimation among the elderly. This could affect the management of patients at true risk. We therefore propose using KH- and demi-span-based formulae to address this issue.
