Relationship between probable sarcopenia and nutritional disorders as evaluated using the Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index and serum phosphorus concentration in maintenance dialysis patients: A cross-sectional study
Abstract:Background To explore the relationship between sarcopenia and nutritional disorders, as evaluated using the Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index (GNRI) and serum phosphorus concentration (P). Methods: This cross-sectional study analyzed 909 Japanese maintenance hemodialysis patients from a multicenter hemodialysis unit. The nutritional indices (GNRI and P) and sarcopenia indices [grip strength and Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB)] were evaluated in all patients. Multiple logistic regression analysis was p… Show more
