Objective To investigate the factors affecting the development of malnutrition among the elderly patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM),so as to provide insights into the prevention of malnutrition among the elderly pa-tients with T2DM.Methods Elderly T2DM patients at ages of 60 years and older admitted to Hangzhou First People's Hospital affiliated to Zhejiang University School of Medicine from June 2022 to June 2023 were recruited.Patients'de-mographics,number of medicines administered and comorbidities were collected using questionnaire surveys,and glycosyl-ated hemoglobin(HbA1c),serum albumin(ALB)and hemoglobin levels were collected from medical records.The nutri-tion status was assessed with the new version of the Mini Nutritional Assessment Short Form(MNA-SF).Factors affect-ing the development of malnutrition were among the elderly T2DM patients identified using a multivariable logistic re-gression model.Results A total of 382 elderly T2DM patients were enrolled,including 226 men(59.16%)and 156 women(40.84%)and with a mean age of(70.06±8.41)years.The prevalence of malnutrition was 22.25%among partici-pants.Multivariable logistic regression analysis identified age(70 to 79 years,OR=1.261,95%CI:1.007-1.158;80 years and older,OR=3.285,95%CI:1.618-6.662),three and more types of comorbidities(OR=2.790,95%CI:1.254-5.191),use of multiple medicines(OR=3.501,95%CI:1.841-6.658),sleep disorders(OR=1.613,95%CI:1.120-2.322),regular exercises(OR=0.280,95%CI:0.115-0.614),serum ALB of 35 g/L and greater(OR=0.272,95%CI:0.102-0.560)and HbA1c of 7%and higher(OR=2.914,95%CI:1.445-5.881)as factors affecting the development of malnutrition among elderly patients with T2DM.Conclusions The risk of malnutrition is associated with age,types of comorbidities,use of multiple medicines,sleep disorders,regular exercise,HbA1c and ALB among the elderly patients with T2DM.Period-ical nutrition screening and intensified health education are recommended for T2DM patients.
