Risk Factors and Predictive Models for Sarcopenia in Older Adults
AGING MEDICINE, EarlyView.Independent risk factors for sarcopenia identified by Lasso regression and logistic regression in the study were BMI, prealbumin, albumin/globulin ratio (A/G ratio), serum creatinine, and phosphorus. These factors were used to construct a nomogram model and a decision tree model. Both models showed effectiveness in predicting sarcopenia in older adults,

A new take on measuring relative nutritional density: The feasibility of using a deep neural network to assess commercially-prepared pureed food concentrations [PDF]
, 2017 Dysphagia affects 590 million people worldwide and increases risk for malnutrition. Pureed food may reduce choking, however preparation differences impact nutrient density making quality assurance necessary. This paper is the first study to investigate the feasibility of computational pureed food nutritional density analysis using an imaging system ...

In-Mouth Robotic Bite Transfer with Visual and Haptic Sensing [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 Assistance during eating is essential for those with severe mobility issues or eating risks. However, dependence on traditional human caregivers is linked to malnutrition, weight loss, and low self-esteem. For those who require eating assistance, a semi-autonomous robotic platform can provide independence and a healthier lifestyle.
