About this document

BMI, Dementia, and Elderly Mortality Study by CAMILA ALEJANDRA GONZÁLEZ is a document available to read on EtoBox.

This study investigates the relationship between body mass index (BMI), dementia, and mortality in elderly individuals aged 65 and older. Findings indicate that low BMI is associated with higher mortality risk, independent of dementia, while weight loss correlates with increased mortality risk primarily in those with dementia. The research highlights the need to consider dementia when analyzing BMI and mortality associations in older populations.
