Nutritional Risk, Frailty and Functional Status in Elderly Heart Failure Patients
Frailty was independently associated with increased LOHS in elderly HF patients. Poor nutritional status was significantly linked to reduced instrumental functional capacity. Routine frailty and nutritional screening may help identify patients who could benefit from early interventions aimed at improving functional outcomes and reducing hospitalization time.
