Abstract

Background: Anemia is common in older people. Frailty scores can be used to predict the risk of anemia in addition to aging. This study aimed toinvestigate the association between anemia with frailty and nutritional insufficiency in older adults in Korea.
Methods: The 2016?2018 National Health and Nutrition Survey data that included 1,715 Korean adults older than 65 years were used in this study.
Frailty scores were defined based on the Fried phenotype. The correlation between anemia and related factors, adjusting for other possibleconfounders, was verified using multivariate logistic regression analysis.
Results: Of the participants, 14.9% had anemia. Participants who were frail had a 1.92 increased odds of anemia (95% confidence interval [CI], 1.17?3.16), higher than that of robust participants after adjusting for covariates. Furthermore, protein insufficiency was associated with 1.67 increasedodds of anemia (95% CI, 1.18?2.35).
Conclusion: Protein intake and anemia management are essential in older people; however, additional studies are necessary to reduce the risk of frailtyand improve patients’ quality of life and survival rate.
