Retrieved April 27, 2024, from http://dx.doi.org/https://doi.org/10.1186/s12877-021-02696-8 Abstract: Undertakes a retrospective review of nursing home residents' data obtained from the NZ International Residential Assessment Instrument national dataset, 2015-2018. Includes 198,790 aged care residents, calculating weight in kilograms divided by height in metres squared. Defines multi-morbidity as the presence of 2 or more health conditions. Measures the risk of disability by a self-performance scale. Highlights an inverse relationship between activities of daily living (ADL) and BMI.
