Analysis reveals vulnerability trajectories in older adults with NSCLC during chemotherapy, indicating smoking history and hypertension as key factors for targeted interventions.
Nutrition risk follows distinct trajectories during chemotherapy cycles, with 11.6% of older adults with NSCLC exhibiting sustained high vulnerability. Older age, smoking history, and hypertension are key predictors of this adverse trajectory. Assessment of these readily available and easily accessible clinical factors at treatment initiation may enable early identification of high-risk patients for targeted nutritional interventions.
