Associations of obesity, subjectively evaluated probable sarcopenia and their combinations with mortality in nursing home residents

Abstract

Rationale: There are studies on associations of obesity and mortality in nursing home (NH) residents, but the presence of concomitant sarcopenia has been examined in none of them. In this study, we aimed to examine associations of obesity alone, probable sarcopenia alone, and their combination (sarcopenic obesity, SO) with mortality in NH residents
