Diet-related quality of life may directly and indirectly affect health-related quality of life through protein intake and frailty in patients with osteoporosis: Results from a prospective cohort study.

Aim: We aimed to examine the direct and indirect associations between diet-related quality of life (DRQOL) and health-related quality of life (HRQOL) in patients with osteoporosis.

Methods: Cross-sectional and longitudinal analyses were conducted using data from a 1-year prospective cohort survey of 532 consecutive patients with osteoporosis. The DRQOL was assessed using a short version of the Diet-Related Quality of Life Scale.

The relationship between existing nutritional indicators and Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition (GLIM) criteria: A one-institution cross-sectional analysis.

Background & Aims: In 2018, the Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition (GLIM) presented the criteria for malnutrition diagnosis; reports about the proportion of malnutrition patients meeting these GLIM criteria in acute care hospitals, however, remain very limited. The relationship between GLIM criteria and existing nutritional indicators, patterns for hospitalization, and malnutrition severity is also unclear. This study aims to investigate this relationship.
