Relationships among the Nutritional Risk Index for Japanese Hemodialysis Patients, Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index, Motor Function and Skeletal Muscle Mass Index in Outpatient Maintenance Hemodialysis Patients: A Retrospective Observational Study

[Purpose] To investigate the relationships among Nutritional Risk Index for Japanese Hemodialysis Patients (NRI-JH), Geriatric (GNRI), motor function and Skeletal Muscle Mass (SMI), to examine usefulness of NRI-JH. [Participants Methods] Sixty outpatients (38 males 22 females) on maintenance hemodialysis were included in study. Basic characteristics such as age, gender, height, dry weight, Body Index, NRI-JH score, GNRI, hand-grip strength (HGS), five times sit-to-stand test, SMI used assessment items. [Results] The score was not significantly related any items, GNRI positively HGS. [Conclusion] or function. A limitation this study limited number subjects. Future studies are needed associations with nutritional screening, exercise function, SMI.
