Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index as a Possible Predictor of Decline in Kidney Function in Older People.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index (GNRI) is associated with morbidity and mortality in older individuals. Our study explored the relationship between GNRI, decline in kidney function, and all-cause mortality in older individuals.

Methods

This retrospective cohort study analyzed data from participants aged ≥60 years who underwent a general health checkup between 2002 and 2018. The primary exposure was the GNRI, divided into quartiles. The primary and secondary outcomes were a decline in kidney function assessed using the 5-year estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and all-cause mortality, respectively.

Results

The analysis included a total of 1,599 participants (median age, 63 years; interquartile range [IQR], 61-67; 54% males). The mean±standard d
