Popis: Objective This 1-y cohort study examined whether Council of Nutrition Appetite Questionnaire (CNAQ) scores predicted mortality in 316 elderly Japanese residents of five nursing homes (60 men, 256 women; mean age: 84.9 ± 8.3 y). Methods The baseline survey included participant characteristics (e.g., age, sex, height, weight, and medical history), and Barthel Index (BI), Clinical Dementia Rating (CDR), Mini Nutritional Assessment-Short Form (MNA®-SF), CNAQ, Simplified Nutritional Appetite Questionnaire (SNAQ; simplified CNAQ), and SNAQ for the Japanese elderly (SNAQ-JE) scores. Results Following the baseline survey, mortality data were collected for 1 y; during this time, 62 participants (19.6%) died. The deceased group's CNAQ scores (25.1 ± 4.8) were significantly lower than those of the survival group (28 ± 3.6; P Conclusions This study showed that CNAQ scores were inversely associated with 1-y mortality. Furthermore, appetite assessment using the CNAQ predicted the death of Japanese nursing home residents. Similarly, the SNAQ and SNAQ-JE scores were inversely associated with 1-y mortality.
