Background: This study aimed to examine the prevalence and associated factors of malnutrition in older community-dwellers and explore the interaction between associated factors.
Methods: A total of 474,467 older community-dwellers aged 65 or above were selected in Guangzhou, China. We used a two-step methodology to detect the associated factors of malnutrition and constructed logistic regression models to explore the influencing factors and interactive effects on three patterns of malnutrition.
Results: The prevalence of malnutrition was 22.28%. Older adults with both hypertension and diabetes (RERI = 0.13), both meat or fish diet and hypertension (RERI = 0.79), and both meat or fish diet and diabetes (RERI = 0.81) had positive additive interaction effects on the risk of obesity, whereas those on a vegetarian diet with hypertension (RERI = -0.25) or diabetes (RERI = -0.19) had negative additive interaction effects. Moreover, the interactions of physical activity with a meat or fish diet (RERI = -0.84) or dyslipidemia (RERI = -0.09) could lower the risk of obesity.
Conclusions: Malnutrition was influenced by different health factors, and there were interactions between these influencing factors. Pertinent dietary instruction should be given according to different nutritional status indexes and the prevalence of metabolic diseases to avoid the occurrences of malnutrition among older adults.

Background: Multimorbidity, defined as the coexistence of two or more chronic diseases, is highly prevalent among the elderly population and is associated with adverse outcomes. However, little is known about its relationship with sleep issues, particularly in this demographic. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate its association with sleep quality and duration among the elderly.

Objective: Our primary aim was to identify a low-risk subgroup of older adults (aged 65 and older) presenting to ED with minor head trauma which can be safely managed without a cranial CT (cCT).
Methods: This was a single-site, prospective, observational, cohort study conducted at a major-referral ED. Alert, haemodynamically stable, older adults with suspected head trauma were eligible.

Objectives: Based on the Environment-Person Fit Perspective, this study explores the relationship between heatwaves and subsequent depressive symptoms among older Chinese community dwellers. Additionally, the study investigates if this association varies among older adults with different levels of social participation.
Methods: Heatwaves were defined as the frequency of occurrences where daily maximum temperature exceeded 35 °C for 3 consecutive days.
