Anorexia of ageing predictor of mortality in the older adults:
- unintentional weight loss of more than 4% in a year appears to be an independent predictor of increased mortality
- in a retrospective US study, those elderly in long-term care who lost 5% or more of their body weight within one month were 4.6 times more likely to die within one year
