Nutritional risk and body mass index predict hospitalization, nursing home admissions, and mortality in community-dwelling older adults: results from the UAB Study of Aging with 8.5 years of follow-up.
This study finds that nutritional risk was prospectively associated with all-cause and nonsurgical hospitalizations and with nursing home admission and mortality in unadjusted models. After adjusting for other risk factors, the association between high nutritional risk and all-cause and nonsurgical hospitalizations remained significant.
