Abstract

[Purpose] To develop a weight estimation formula based on the associations of maximum calf circumference (MCC) with body composition (BC), nutritional status (NS), and activities of daily living (ADL). [Subjects] Thirty very elderly hospitalized patients. [Methods] MCC, weight, estimated height, muscular mass, body fat mass, skeletal muscle index, albumin, and Barthel index were assessed. [Results] MCC was significantly correlated with BC, NS and ADL. The regression equation to estimate weight from MCC was as follows weight(kg)= MCC×2.0－13.9, and the coefficient of determination was 0.64. [Conclusion] This result suggests that MCC may be a useful anthropometric variable for estimating the body weight of very elderly hospitalized patients. <br>
