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.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model 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 teacher head, not a consensus.
