Nutritional Impairment and Quality of Life Trajectories Among Older Adults With Advanced Cancer
Baseline nutritional impairment was independently associated with membership in every worse QOL trajectory group and with membership in the "Worsening Mild Depression" group. This is the first study, to our knowledge, to examine the association between baseline nutritional impairment and QOL and psychological health trajectory among patients with cancer. Integrating early nutritional assessment with paired supportive care is important for older adults with advanced cancer.
