The Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition (GLIM) has proposed a consensus scheme for classifying malnutrition. This study examined the prevalence of malnutrition according to GLIM criteria and evaluated if these criteria were associated with adverse outcomes in community-dwelling older adults.

To explore the association between both self-reported quality and quantity sleep characteristics and frailty status in a large non–sex-specific population of older individuals in Greece.
This study aimed to develop an equation model combining physical fitness and anthropometric parameters and compare its results with those of bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA)-measured lean mass (LM) using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA)-measured appendicular muscle mass (AMM) as reference.

Existing studies cannot evaluate the time-varying properties of frailty and polypharmacy despite raising concerns about their combined effects in older individuals.
To analyze whether frailty and comorbidities are associated with in-hospital mortality and discharge to home in older adults hospitalized for coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).
Frailty increases the risks of hospitalization, institutionalization, and death. Our objective was to study the effects of home-based physical exercise on the number of days spent at home among pre-frail and frail persons, versus usual care. In addition, utilization and costs of health care and social serv...
Investigating the lifestyle activity patterns of urban community-dwelling Japanese older adults, focusing on physical frailty and cognitive impairment.
