Objectives

Narrative objectives1

To establish the methodology of the GLIM criteria and assess its validity in older adults with dementia who require support or long-term care but are not hospitalized, this study will (1) cross-sectionally examine the cutoff value of calf circumference for estimating reduced muscle mass, and (2) longitudinally investigate three-year survival rates stratified by nutritional status.

Key inclusion criteria

Older adults with dementia who use group homes or small-scale multifunctional in-home care services at collaborating research facilities, and who are able to provide informed consent either personally or through a legal representative (e.g., a family member).

Key exclusion criteria

Individuals who cannot provide informed consent either personally or through a legal representative (e.g., a family member) will be excluded.
Additionally, those who are hospitalized at the time of the baseline assessment or who have been judged to be in the terminal stage with a life expectancy of several months will also be excluded.
No restrictions will be placed on the type of dementia, sex, age, or medication use at the time of recruitment.
