The data are expressed as mean ± standard deviation. *: P < 0.05 compared between the one powder and the two powders groups
1 p: One powder AG; 2 p: Two powder AG; Dw: Dry weight; TP: Total protein; Alb: Albumin; A/G: Alb/Globulin = Alb/(TP - Alb); and GNRI: Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index = 14.89 × Alb + 41.7 × (dry weight/ideal body weight).
