“…Calf circumference is an anthropometric measurement that has been utilized to assess the nutritional status of older adults and potentially predict the prognosis of hip fractures in this population [ 15 ]. Lower CC has been associated with poor nutritional status and in this study, has been identified as a risk factor for adverse outcomes following hip fractures, including increased mortality rates [ 16 ]. Furthermore, CC may also serve as an indicator of sarcopenia, a condition characterized by muscle loss, which can further impact the prognosis of hip fractures in older adults [ 17 ].…”

Background We aimed to explore the predictive value of anthropometric measurements in survival and free walking ability of geriatric hip fractures after surgery. Methods Eight common anthropometric measurements, including arm circumference (AC), waist circumference (WC), thigh circumference (TC), calf circumference (CC), biceps skinfold (BS), triceps skinfold (TS), suprailiac skinfold (SIS), and subscapular skinfold (SSS), were included to identify their predictive value in survival and free walking ability of geriatric hip fractures. The results of anthropometric measurements were compared between patients with different outcomes. Cox and logistics models were established to further identify the predictive value of anthropometric measurements. Results Comparison among groups indicated that individuals with different outcomes may have significantly different anthropometric measurements. In the Cox analyses based on all individuals, all models proved that the patients with higher AC, as well as CC and BS, may have a lower risk of 1-year mortality. Similarly, in the logistics analysis, AC, CC, and BS were proven to have strong predictive ability for 6-month and 1-year mortality in females and overall individuals. However, the predictive value of the eight common anthropometric measurements in free walking ability is not significant. Conclusion AC, CC, and BS may have strong predictive ability for 6-month and 1-year mortality in all individuals and females.

“…Scores of 12 points or higher indicate normal nutritional status, and scores of 11 points or below indicate possible malnutrition [23]. The MNA-SF has been widely used to assess the nutritional status of cancer patients in previous studies [24,25]. The inter-observer reliability coe cient for MNA-SF was 0.97.…”

Purpose During and after treatment, esophageal cancer (EC) patients experience changes in body mass index (BMI), performance status, nutrition status, symptom distress, and physical fitness. This study aims to evaluate temporal changes and their associated factors in BMI, performance status, nutrition status, symptom distress, physical fitness, and functional ability in EC patients during and after treatment. Methods This prospective longitudinal study recruited EC patients from a medical center in Northern Taiwan. The 112 EC patients were assessed before treatment (T0), 1 month after starting treatment (T1), 3 months after starting treatment (end of treatment) (T2), and 6 months after starting treatment (T3). Generalized estimating equation analysis was used to determine the factors associated with changes in functional ability over time. Results Patient nutrition status was lowest before treatment and then increased by 6 months after treatment. Symptom distress slightly decreased from before treatment to 3 months after treatment, rising at 6 months after treatment but not reaching baseline (T0). Functional ability increased from before treatment to 1 month after treatment and then declined at 3 months after starting treatment, increasing at 6 months to below baseline (T0). Patients who had a BMI less than 25 kg/m2, engaged less in physical activity, and were less physically fit were more likely to have worse functional ability. Conclusion BMI, level of physical activity, and the degree of physical fitness were the important factors associated with functional ability in EC patients. Healthcare professionals should design patient-tailored prehabilitation programs in advance to strengthen physical fitness.
