BMI and weight, depression (GDS5), dementia (MMSE), pain (Verbal Ranking Scale), muscle strength (hand-grip strength, chair-to-stand-test) and EQ5D. In addition, need for initiated municipal assistance after discharge. Project employee who performs data collection is blinded to the group to which the patient is randomized.
