| Popis: | Nursing home resident obesity increases the complexity of nursing care, and nursing homes report avoiding residents with obesity when choosing which prospective residents to accept. The objective of this study was to examine the associations between nursing home obesity prevalence rate and nursing home organizational, staffing, resident, and geographic factors within a profit maximization framework. The study cohort included U.S. Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services data from U.S. nursing homes in 2013. Study findings supported hypothesized associations between obesity prevalence rate and higher occupancy, higher bed capacity, and multi-facility affiliation, but findings did not support a relationship between obesity prevalence rate and for-profit status. |
