Associations between the geriatric nutritional risk index and the risk of and mortality associated with chronic kidney disease in older individuals.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Malnutrition is a complication of chronic kidney disease (CKD). Whether malnutrition, assessed via the geriatric nutritional risk index (GNRI), is associated with the incidence and risk of CKD in older individuals remains unclear.

Methods

Data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey and the UK Biobank database were used. Older participants over 60 years old with available data for GNRI assessment and CKD diagnosis were enrolled. Logistic regression models and Cox regression models were used to assess associations between the geriatric nutritional risk index and the risk of and mortality associated with CKD.

Results

This study enrolled 13,162 participants from the NHANES and 66,326 participants from the UK Biobank. We identified 6,135 and 1
