BACKGROUND: The global aging population presents a significant challenge, with older adults experiencing declining physical and cognitive abilities and increased vulnerability to chronic diseases and adverse health outcomes. This study aims to develo...
BACKGROUND: Physical frailty is an important issue in aging societies. Three models of physical frailty assessment, the 5-Item fatigue, resistance, ambulation, illness and loss of weight (FRAIL); Cardiovascular Health Study (CHS); and Study of Osteop...
BACKGROUND: Prognostic risk stratification in older adults with type 2 diabetes (T2D) is important for guiding decisions concerning advance care planning.
INTRODUCTION: Post-operative delirium (POD) is a common complication in older patients, with an incidence of 14-56%. To implement preventative procedures, it is necessary to identify patients at risk for POD. In the present study, we aimed to develop...
BACKGROUND: Malnutrition is prevalent among elderly cancer patients. This study aims to develop a predictive model for malnutrition in hospitalized elderly cancer patients.
