Malnutrition was detected in 28.4% to 41.2% of patients, while sarcopenia and frailty prevalence was 68.3% and 73.2%.
Between 20.8% and 29.2% of patients presented all three conditions, with significant implications on health outcomes.
Cox regression analysis revealed high malnutrition risk and sarcopenia markedly increased in-hospital mortality risk.
The study assessed biomarker levels, indicating reduced albumin was most significantly linked to malnutrition, sarcopenia, and frailty.
