Description
Kolen and seven co-authors published a 2026 PLOS ONE study on poor nutrition in people who lost a leg. These patients lost a major lower limb due to blood vessel disease. The title states the finding in strong terms: undernutrition is alarmingly common in this group. The team followed patients forward in time. Hungry patients heal slower, so this warning argues for routine nutrition checks after amputation.
