Prevalence and Associated Factors of Sarcopenic Obesity Among Nursing Home Residents: A Cross‐Sectional Multi‐Centre Study
The study indicates a notable prevalence of obesity and sarcopenic obesity among nursing home residents with lower to moderate care dependency. These findings underscore the importance of optimising nutritional intake and other modifiable lifestyle factors associated with such health conditions and implementing them into targeted, individualised interventions to reduce the risk of obesity and sarcopenic obesity and to improve health outcomes.
