Abstract

Background & aims: Several tools are available for nutritional screening. We evaluated the risk of mortality associated with the Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index (GNRI) and the Mini Nutritional Assessment (MNA) in newly institutionalised elderly. Methods: A prospective observational study involving 358 elderly newly admitted to a long-term care setting. Hazard ratios (HR) for mortality among GNRI categories and MNA classes were estimated by multivariable Cox's model. Results: At baseline, 32.4% and 37.4% of the patients were classified as being malnourished (MNA
