Patients will be randomized in the control group. They will have test MNA (Mini Nutritional Assessment), frailty screening tool (questionnaire FiND), clinical examination, blood sample, blood sample with heparin, white blood cells, urine sample, stool sample, maximal voluntary contraction of quadriceps, walking test, get up-and-go test, Hand Grip test, physical activity questionnaire, bioelectrical impedance analysis and Dual Energy X-ray Absorptiometry (DEXA).
