Associations between malnutrition and dehydration among older adults: A cross‐sectional observational study
A negative correlation was found between the MNA score and Posm in patients with dehydration, whereas the correlation is positive among patients without dehydration. This inverse relationship between the MNA score and Posm in patients with different levels of hydration is one potential reason for the lack of a significant correlation between malnutrition and dehydration in previously reported studies. Different risk factors of malnutrition may predominate in settings of dehydration vs no dehydration.
