Anorexia in Medicare Fee-for-Service Beneficiaries: A Claims-Based Analysis of Epidemiology and Mortality
ConclusionApproximately 1% of all adults aged 65 –115 years old with Medicare FFS insurance are diagnosed with anorexia each year based on ICD-10 codes reported in claims. These individuals have a higher comorbidity burden and an increased risk of annual mortality compared to those without a diagnosis of anorexia. Further analyses are needed to better understand the relationship between anorexia, comorbidities, frailty, mortality, and other health outcomes. (Source: The Journal of Nutrition, Health and Aging)

Muscular Echo-Intensity of the Quadriceps by Ultrasound Is More Related to Improvement of Gait Independence than Muscle Thickness in Older Inpatients
ConclusionsOur study indicates that a decrease in muscular echo-intensity of the quadriceps by ultrasound is more related to the improvement of gait independence than an increase of muscle thickness in older inpatients. Intervention for intramuscular adipose tissue of the quadriceps may be important for improving gait independence in older inpatients. (Source: The Journal of Nutrition, Health and Aging)

Is the Utility of the GLIM Criteria Used to Diagnose Malnutrition Suitable for Bicultural Populations? Findings from Life and Living in Advanced Age Cohort Study in New Zealand (LiLACS NZ)
ConclusionNutrition risk, but not malnutrition diagnosed by the GLIM criteria was significantly associated with mortality for M āori. Conversely, both nutrition risk and malnutrition were significantly associated with mortality for non-Māori. Appropriate phenotypic criteria for diverse populations are needed within the GLIM framework. (Source: The Journal of Nutrition, Health and Aging)

Higher Dietary Vitamin K Intake is Associated with Better Physical Function and Lower Long-Term Injurious Falls Risk in Community-Dwelling Older Women
ConclusionA higher habitual Vitamin K1 intake was associated with better physical function and lower long-term injurious falls risk in community-dwelling older women. In the context of musculoskeletal health, Vitamin K1 found abundantly in green leafy vegetables should be promoted. (Source: The Journal of Nutrition, Health and Aging)

Assessment of Dietary Intake in Three Cohorts of Advanced Age in Two Countries: Methodology Challenges
ConclusionsDietary assessment using 24hr-MPR was successful in capturing detailed dietary data including information on portion size and time of eating for over 1300 octogenarians in the UK and New Zealand (M āori and non- Māori). The 24hr-MPR is an acceptable method of dietary assessment in this age group. (Source: The Journal of Nutrition, Health and Aging)

Social Network Factors Affect Nutrition Risk in Middle-Aged and Older Adults: Results from the Canadian Longitudinal Study on Aging
ConclusionIndividuals with low social participation, low social standing, and low social support may be at increased nutrition risk and should be proactively screened by healthcare professionals. Interventions and community programs designed to increase levels of social participation and foster social support may help to reduce the prevalence of nutrition risk.

Association of Dental Caries with Muscle Mass, Muscle Strength, and Sarcopenia: A Community-Based Study
ConclusionDental caries was positively associated with low muscle strength and sarcopenia but not muscle mass, and this association was more pronounced in male individuals. Significant differences were observed in gut microbiota composition both in severe dental caries and sarcopenia, and there was an overlap of the genera features. Future longitudinal studies are needed to clarify causal relationships. (Source: The Journal of Nutrition, Health and Aging)

Vitamin D Status Over Time and Cognitive Function in Norwegian Older Adults: A Prospective Cohort of the HUNT Study
ConclusionVitamin D insufficiency defined by two times measurements of serum 25(OH)D with a 10-year interval was not associated with the risk of NCDs in a cohort of older Norwegian adults. Future studies utilizing multiple vitamin D measurements with a longer follow-up duration and larger sample size are warranted. (Source: The Journal of Nutrition, Health and Aging)

The Association between Air Pollutants Exposure with Pre- and Hypertension by Vitamin C Intakes in Korean Adults: A Cross-Sectional Study from the 2013 –2016 Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination
ConclusionExposure to air pollutants such as PM10, SO2, NO2, and CO may increase the prevalence of pre-HTN and HTN among Korean adults. In addition, a high intake of vitamin C may help prevent pre-HTN and HTN caused by air pollutants. (Source: The Journal of Nutrition, Health and Aging)

Malnutrition Increases the Risk of Left Ventricular Remodeling
ConclusionNearly one eighth of patients were classified as moderate-severe malnutrition, 12% of whom had LV remodeling. Moderate-severe malnutrition was associated with 69% increased risk of LV remodeling. Further studies are needed to prospectively evaluate the nutrition-oriented managements on outcomes in LV remodeling. (Source: The Journal of Nutrition, Health and Aging)
