Estimation of 24-hour urinary creatinine excretion from patient variables: A novel approach to identify patients with low muscle mass and malnutrition and relationship to outcomes.

Background: Low muscle mass has been correlated with adverse outcomes in patients who are critically ill. Methods to identify low muscularity such as computed tomography scans or bioelectrical impedance analyses are impractical for admission screening. Urinary creatinine excretion (UCE) and creatinine height index (CHI) are associated with muscularity and outcomes but require a 24-h urine collection.

Food Insecurity Among Older Adults Living in Low- and Middle-Income Countries: A Scoping Review.

Background And Objectives: Food insecurity is considered an increasing public health problem worldwide with adverse effects, especially among older adults. Although the literature related to food insecurity among older adults in low- and middle-income countries (LMIC) are expanding, little is known about existing patterns and knowledge gaps in these settings. This scoping review aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the current research related to food insecurity among older adults in LMIC.

Determinant factors associated with the use of evidence-based dietetics practice among registered dietitian nutritionists.

Aims: There is a lack of research assessing perceived and actual evidence-based dietetics practice knowledge among registered dietitian nutritionists. This cross-sectional research examined the association between determinant factors (i.e.

Validity and reliability of a questionnaire measuring EBDPs among registered dietitian nutritionist.

Background: There is a lack of a valid and reliable instrument that measures objective and subjective knowledge of evidence-based dietetic practices (EBDP) among registered dietitian nutritionists (RDNs). The present study aimed to develop and assess the validity and reliability of an EBDP Questionnaire (EBDPQ) with objective knowledge items (i.e.

The Impact of a Food Recovery-Meal Delivery Program on Homebound Seniors' Food Security, Nutrition, and Well-Being.
