From: Malnutrition-related mortality trends in older adults in the United States from 1999 to 2020
Trends in age-adjusted mortality rate (per 100,000) for malnutrition among U.S. older adults from 1999 to 2020 stratified by age group. The Joinpoint regression model identified three time segments for the 65 – 74 and the 75 – 84 age groups and four time segments for the ≥ 85 age group. For the 65 – 74 age group, 1999 to 2004 APC: –7.1 (95 CI%: –12.6, –1.4), 2004 to 2013 APC: 0.80 (95% CI: –2.6, 4.3), 2013 to 2020 APC: 17.6 (95% CI: 15.1, 20.2). For the 75 – 84 age group, 1999 to 2006 APC: –7.6 (95% CI: –8.8, –6.4), 2006 to 2013 APC: 0.7 (95% CI: –1.1, 2.5), 2013 to 2020 APC: 19.1 (95% CI: 18.0, 20.2). For the ≥ 85 age group, 1999 to 2007 APC: –9.2 (95% CI: –10.8, –7.6), 2007 to 2013 APC: 0.0 (95% CI: –3.9, 4.0), 2013 to 2016 APC: 30.7 (95% CI: 13.8, 50.1), 2016 to 2020 APC: 22.4 (95% CI: 19.2, 25.8)
