However, the correlation between the CGA usage and nutritional-related assessments remain unclear. This study aims to clarify the correlation between the CGA usage and other nutritional-related assessments. (2) Methods: We conducted a questionnaire survey on clinical use of CGA, assessment of sarcopenia\/sarcopenic dysphagia\/cachexia, and defining nutritional goals\/the Nutrition Care Process\/the International Classification of Functioning, Disability, and Health (ICF)\/the Kuchi\u2013Kara Taberu Index. (3) Results: The number of respondents was 652 (response rate, 12.0%), including 77 who used the CGA in the general practice. The univariate analyses revealed that participants using the CGA tended to assess sarcopenia (P = 0.029), sarcopenic dysphagia (P = 0.001), and define nutritional goals (P &lt; 0.001). Multivariate logistic regression analyses for the CGA usage revealed that using ICF (P &lt; 0.001), assessing sarcopenia (P = 0.001), sarcopenic dysphagia (P = 0.022), and cachexia (P = 0.039), and defining nutritional goals (P = 0.001) were statistically significant after adjusting for confounders. (4) Conclusions: There are correlations between the use of CGA and evaluation of sarcopenia, sarcopenic dysphagia, and cachexia and nutritional goals.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/geriatrics4010023","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,2,17]],"date-time":"2019-02-17T22:11:50Z","timestamp":1550441510000},"page":"23","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment and Nutrition-Related Assessment: A Cross-Sectional Survey for Health Professionals"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"4","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5709-4541","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Junko","family":"Ueshima","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Clinical Nutrition and Food Service, NTT Medical Center Tokyo, Tokyo 141-0022, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7132-7818","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Keisuke","family":"Maeda","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Palliative Care Center, Aichi Medical University, Aichi 480-1195, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0364-0818","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Hidetaka","family":"Wakabayashi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Rehabilitation Medicine, Yokohama City University Medical Center, Yokohama 232-0024, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6726-8605","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Shinta","family":"Nishioka","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Clinical Nutrition and Food Services, Nagasaki Rehabilitation Hospital, Nagasaki 850-0854, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Saori","family":"Nakahara","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Nutrition, Suzuka General Hospital, Suzuka 513-8630, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3261-8721","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yoji","family":"Kokura","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Clinical Nutrition, Keiju Medical Center, Nanao 926-8605, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,2,15]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","first-page":"343","article-title":"Comprehensive geriatric assessment for older adults admitted to hospital: Meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials","volume":"27","author":"Ellis","year":"2011","journal-title":"BMJ"},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"673","DOI":"10.1111\/ggi.12450","article-title":"Japan as the front-runner of super-aged societies: Perspectives from medicine and medical care in Japan","volume":"15","author":"Arai","year":"2015","journal-title":"Geriatr.
