The Effect of a Citrus and Pomegranate Complex on Physical Fitness and Mental Well-Being in Healthy Elderly: A Randomized Placebo-Controlled Trial
ConclusionFour weeks of daily CPC supplementation significantly improves handgrip strength and self-evaluated measures of psychological function in healthy older adults. Further research should focus on mechanisms associated with physical performance. (Source: The Journal of Nutrition, Health and Aging)

Association between Cognitive Frailty and Adverse Outcomes among Older Adults: A Meta-Analysis
ConclusionOur findings indicate that cognitive frailty is an independent risk factor for adverse outcomes (e.g., falls, disability, and hospitalization). Early screening and comprehensive intervention may improve cognitive frailty and reduce the risk for adverse outcomes among older adults. (Source: The Journal of Nutrition, Health and Aging)

Frailty and Associated Factors among Chinese Centenarians
ConclusionChinese centenarian women are frailer than men. Having fewer natural teeth, living alone or in an institution, lacking exercise, and having insufficient financial resources were the factors associated with frailty among Chinese centenarians. Family conditions and healthy lifestyles may be important for frailty status in centenarians. (Source: The Journal of Nutrition, Health and Aging)

Behavioral and Cognitive Problems as Determinants of Malnutrition in Long-Term Care Facilities, a Cross-Sectional and Prospective Study
ConclusionResidents with behavior and cognitive problems are at an increased risk of being malnourished at admission, or becoming malnourished during stay in a LTCF, especially residents with multiple behavior and cognitive problems. (Source: The Journal of Nutrition, Health and Aging)

Development of the cMIND Diet and Its Association with Cognitive Impairment in Older Chinese People
ConclusionWe developed the cMIND diet that was suitable for older Chinese individuals, and our results suggested that higher adherence to the cMIND diet was associated with reduced odds of cognitive impairment and IADL disability. In view of the limitations of cross-sectional design in the study, further research is clearly warranted. (Source: The Journal of Nutrition, Health and Aging)

Association of SARC-F Score and Rockwood Clinical Frailty Scale with CT-Derived Muscle Mass in Patients with Aortic Aneurysms
ConclusionCFS showed higher association with CT-derived muscle mass than SARC-F. Comprehensive pre-operative risk-stratification tools which incorporate frailty assessment and body composition analysis may assist in decision making for surgery and allow opportunity for pre-habilitation.

Efficacy of Antiresorptive Treatment in Osteoporotic Older Adults: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Randomized Clinical Trials
ConclusionsAntiresorptive drugs have a statistically significant effect on preventing hip fracture but with a moderate quality (unclear/high risk of bias) and high NNT (186). This small benefit disappears in those ≥75 years, but increases in secondary prevention. More RCTs in very old osteoporotic adults are needed. (Source: The Journal of Nutrition, Health and Aging)

Association between Ultra-Processed Food Consumption and Frailty in American Elder People: Evidence from a Cross-Sectional Study
ConclusionThe energy and energy proportion of UPFs intake was positively associated with the frailty risk in underweight-normal weight and overweight people, indicating that population with BMI less than 30 kg/m2 should pay more attention to reasonable diet and balanced source of energy intake.

Prevalence of Obesity and Malnutrition in Four Cohorts of Very Old Adults, 2000 –2017
ConclusionsAmong very old adults, the mean BMI and prevalence of obesity seemed to increase between 2000 –2002 and 2015–2017. Meanwhile, the nutritional status (according to MNA scores) seemed to improve between 2000–2002 and 2010–2012, it declined by 2015–2017. (Source: The Journal of Nutrition, Health and Aging)

Increased Emergency Department Utilization and Costs for Medicare Cancer Patients with Malnutrition Diagnoses
ConclusionsOur results suggest that malnutrition in cancer patients imposes a high outpatient burden on resource utilization and costs of care in terms of ED use. We propose that nutritional interventions can be used to improve health outcomes for people with cancer and to improve economic outcomes for patients and providers.

Development of Older Adult Food Insecurity Index to Assess Food Insecurity of Older Adults
ConclusionThis evidence-based model considered factors that impact food insecurity among older adults across all the spheres of the SEM. The drivers of food insecurity among older adults are different than the drivers for the general population, resulting in a higher percentage of older adults being food insecure than currently reported.

A review on the Role of Oral Nutritional Supplements in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
AbstractDue to the high smoking rate in developing countries and the rising aging population in high-income countries, the global prevalence of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), estimated to be 11.7%, is increasing and is the third-leading cause of mortality. COPD is likely to be present in elderly individuals with impaired gastroenteric functions. Gastrointestinal congestion, dyspnea, and anxiety are pathophysiological characteristics of COPD, contributing to poor appetite, reduced dietary intake, and high-energy expenditure. These factors are implicated in the progression of malnutrition in COPD patients. Mal...

Postoperative Pneumonia and Aspiration Pneumonia Following Elderly Hip Fractures
ConclusionASA classification ≥ 3, higher CCI, and postoperative delirium were the risk factors for postoperative pneumonia. Male sex, postoperative delirium, and lower preoperative serum albumin level were the risk factors for aspiration pneumonia. Thus, physicians should pay attention to patients with the risk factors.
