Overweight in Older Adults with Kidney Disease: Association with Frailty and its Domains
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Objectives: To evaluate the association between overweight and frailty, as well as its specific domains, in older adults with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted with 65 older adults attending a nephrology outpatient clinic. Frailty was assessed using the Edmonton Frail Scale (EFS), and body composition was measured by anthropometry and bioelectrical impedance analysis. Laboratory data were obtained from medical records. Associations between BMI, frailty, and its domains were adjusted for age and sex. Results: The mean age was 69.8 years, 55.4% were men, and mean BMI was 32.6 kg/m². Frailty was identified in 58.5% of participants. Overweight individuals had lower muscle mass and higher fat mass (p < 0.01), along with greater medication use and lower urinary continence (p < 0.05). Conclusion: Overweight was associated with poorer body composition and higher frailty, highlighting its negative impact on functional health in older adults with CKD.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
