This research aims to explore the connections between frailty, sarcopenia, and nutritional status in older adults.
Cross-sectional study design involving older adults over 65 in nursing homes.
Assessment of frailty using the Edmonton Frailty Scale.
Sarcopenia evaluated with the Sarcopenia Rapid Screening Test (SARC-F).
Nutritional status measured through Mini Nutritional Assessment and dietary recall.
Frailty status showed a significant correlation with sarcopenia (r = 0.773; p < 0.05).
Older adults exhibited a significant negative correlation between frailty and nutritional status (r = -0.496; p < 0.05).
A positive correlation was found between sarcopenia and malnutrition (r = 0.489; p < 0.005).

Irgat et al. (2025) studied this question.
