Abstract

[Purpose] To analyze the the possible relationships of maximum calf circumference (MCC), body composition (BC), and nutritional status (NS) with toileting abilities. [Subjects] Sixty-six old-old inpatients. [Methods] We examined the relationships of toileting (Barthel index) with MCC (measured at 26% calf length from the lower end of the fibular head), BC (predictive height, weight, body mass index, and muscle mass), and NS (albumin obtained from medical records using correlation analysis. [Results] Toileting abilities correlated significantly with MCC, BC, and NS. MCC and albumin status showed the best correlations with toileting abilities in the multiple regression model. [Conclusion] MCC and albumin status may predict the toileting abilities of old-old inpatients. <br>
