Information on nutrition status (full MNA) and health information, like cognitive status (MMSE), daily functional status (ADL and IADL scales) and frailty was obtained.

In the binary analysis, low MNA scores were associated with increasing age, female gender, lower education level, financial dependence, solitary life, poor self-rated health, multiple physical disabilities and chronic disease, polypharmacy, smoking, functional and cognitive decrease and frailty. In the final model of the multivariate analysis, living alone (OR:1.249,CI:1.105\u20132.620), multiple physical disabilities (OR:2.183,CI:1.246\u2009\u00b1\u20093..250) and chronic disease (OR: 2.148,CI:1.167\u20132.879) were independently associated with malnutrition. Also financial independency (OR:0.625,CI:0.233\u20130.938), functional ability on ADL (OR:0.536,CI:0.327\u20130.976) and IADL (OR:0.319,CI:0.194\u20130.856), normal cognitive (OR:0.456,CI:0.293\u20130.934) and no frailty (OR:0.253,CI:0.117\u20130.729) independently were inversely associated with malnutrition.
