67.5% of older adults in the study were malnourished and 21.3% were frail, indicating higher risks in this population.
There’s a strong association between malnutrition and frailty with factors like financial status (p=0.00) and education (p=0.000).
Data were collected using Mini Nutrition Statement and Clinical Frailty Test from 160 participants in old age homes.
Effective interventions must target socio-demographic factors affecting malnutrition and frailty risk among residents.
