Abstract
In this longitudinal exploratory study, items from the minimum data set (MDS) were used to predict resident weight changes in older adults (N = 77) from three nursing homes. At the end of the study period, three variables from the last available MDS were significant predictors of weight loss: 1) leaves 25% or more of food uneaten at most meals, 2) receiving an antianxiety medication, and 3) not having the ability to feed oneself independently.
