Food Insecurity, Advanced Anthropometric Indices, and Central Obesity in Older Adults: Implications for Geriatric Nursing Assessments

< .05 for all). Our findings demonstrate a significant association between central obesity, particularly as measured by ABSI and BRI, and food insecurity in older adults. We recommend that geriatric nurses integrate these advanced anthropometric indices into routine assessments to more accurately screen for food insecurity. This approach would allow for more effective and targeted nursing interventions for this vulnerable population.
