Associations between naples prognostic score and stroke and mortality among older adults.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Inflammation and malnutrition in the body are closely related to the incidence of stroke. Older adults often suffer from malnutrition and inflammation. Naples Prognostic Score (NPS), a novel inflammation-malnutrition score, can effectively assess the inflammation and nutritional status of the body. The aim of this study is to explore the connection between NPS and stroke among older adults, as well as the association between NPS and mortality in older adults.

Methods

Participants eligible for the study were collected from National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey(NHANES) data from 1999 to 2018. Logistic regression models were employed to investigate the link between NPS and stroke. Additionally, restricted cubic spline was utilized to explore the correlatio
