Abstract Background The elevated serum uric acid (SUA) is associated with an increased risk of hypertension and nutritional status. Malnutrition might modify the association of SUA with hypertension. Therefore, the aims of this study were to examine the mediation effect of malnutrition on the association of SUA with the risk of hypertension in Chinese population. Methods The study was based on the China Health and Nutrition Survey in 2009. Participants aged ≥ 60 years with complete analyzed data were eligible. The Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index (GNRI) was calculated by serum albumin (ALB) and BMI. Participants were identified as hypertension if systolic blood pressure ≥ 140 mmHg and/or diastolic blood pressure ≥ 90 mmHg or receiving antihypertensive drug. Results There were 2371 participants included in the final analysis. In total, there was a significant mediation effect of the GNRI on the relationship between SUA level with hypertension (P < 0.001; OR: 1.096; and 95 % CI: 1.048–1.146). And the proportion mediated was 17.77 %. The results stratified by sex were consistent with those of total population. The significant mediation effects of the GNRI were found in the 60–69 years and 70–79 years groups (P = 0.002 and 0.032; OR: 1.099 and 1.075; and 95 % CI: 1.036–1.165 and 1.006–1.148, respectively) but not in the 80–99 years group (P = 0.303). The proportions mediated were16.22 % and 18.36 %, respectively. Conclusions The GNRI can mediate and account for approximately 17.77 % of the relationship between SUA level and the risk of hypertension. And this mediation effect was fully observed in both males and females, especially in the 60–79 years population.

Abstract Introduction Geriatric Nutrition Risk Index（GNRI）assesses the risk of malnutrition and complications associated with nutritional status in older patients and is also an important predictor of many diseases. Osteoporosis is very general in the elderly population and can cause fractures and disability. Malnutrition is associated with osteoporosis. Therefore, we investigated the relationship between GNRI and osteoporosis in T2DM.Methods Study population of 610 patients with T2DM, collect general and laboratory data on the patient and measure BMD; GNRI is calculated based on serum albumin levels, actual weight and ideal weight. Spearman's correlation analysis, logistic regression analysis, receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were used to explore the relationship between GNRI and bone metabolism-related indicators.Results Spearman's correlation analysis yielded a positive correlation between GNRI and BMD, and a negative correlation between GNRI and ALP and PINP. After adjustment of age, duration of illness, TC, TG and uric acid et al confounding factors, a positively correlated with 25(OH)D and PTH (r=0.224, r=0.136, respectively) and negative correlation was found between GNRI and ALP and PINP (r=-0.178, r=-0.120, respectively). Regression analysis yields, GNRI was significantly associated with osteoporosis (in the age < 65 years group, odds ratio was 0.917, P < 0.05 and in the age≥65 years group, was 1.062, P<0.05). The area under the curve of the GNRI recipient operating characteristic curve was 0.584, and the optimal threshold for GNRI to assess the occurrence of osteoporosis was 107.2, the sensitivity was 89.63% and the specificity was 24.63%.Conclusions: Lower Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index among type 2 diabetic patients in northern China are associated with a higher Incidence of osteoporosis.

The ratio of extracellular fluid (ECF) to intracellular fluid (ICF) may be associated with mortality in patients undergoing hemodialysis, possibly associated with protein-energy wasting. We therefore investigated the relationship of the ECF/ICF ratio and the geriatric nutritional risk index (GNRI) with the all-cause and cardiovascular-specific mortality in 234 patients undergoing hemodialysis. Bioimpedance analysis of the ECF and ICF was performed and the ECF/ICF ratio was independently associated with GNRI (β = −0.247, p < 0.0001). During a median follow-up of 2.8 years, 72 patients died, of which 29 were cardiovascular. All-cause mortality was independently associated with a lower GNRI (adjusted hazard ratio [aHR] 3.48, 95% confidence interval [CI] 2.01–6.25) and a higher ECF/ICF ratio (aHR 11.38, 95%CI 5.29–27.89). Next, we divided patients into four groups: group 1 (G1), higher GNRI and lower ECF/ICF ratio; G2, lower GNRI and lower ECF/ICF ratio; G3, higher GNRI and higher ECF/ICF ratio; and G4, lower GNRI and higher ECF/ICF ratio. Analysis of these groups revealed 10-year survival rates of 91.2%, 67.2%, 0%, and 0% in G1, G2, G3, and G4, respectively. The aHR for G4 versus G1 was 43.4 (95%CI 12.2–279.8). Adding the GNRI alone, the ECF/ICF ratio alone, or both to the established risk model improved the net reclassification improvement by 0.444, 0.793 and 0.920, respectively. Similar results were obtained for cardiovascular mortality. In conclusion, the ECF/ICF ratio was independently associated with GNRI and could predict mortality in patients undergoing hemodialysis. Combining the GNRI and ECF/ICF ratio could improve mortality predictions.

Aims: To investigate the prognostic value of hemoglobin combined with geriatric nutritional risk index (GNRI) scores in patients undergoing postoperative radiotherapy for esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). Patients & methods: Patients who underwent esophagectomy and postoperative radiotherapy were included in this retrospective study. Their preoperative hemoglobin and GNRI were collected to establish hemoglobin-GNRI (H-GNRI) scores, and their association with OS was evaluated. Results: Patients with high H-GNRI scores had better prognosis than those with low scores (p < 0.001). Differentiation (p = 0.001), T classification (p = 0.010), N classification (p = 0.001) and H-GNRI score (p = 0.018) were independent prognostic factors for all patients. Conclusion: H-GNRI score is an independent prognostic factor for the survival of patients with ESCC managed by surgery and postoperative radiotherapy.
