BACKGROUND: @entity729 is a major @entity740 ( @entity740 ) that increases the risk of adverse clinical outcomes. Geriatric nutritional risk index (GNRI) is a simple nutritional assessment tool that predicts poor prognosis in elderly subjects. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the correlation between GNRI and severity of @entity729 in non-dialyzed @entity740 @entity1 .Methods   and   Results:We enrolled 323 asymptomatic @entity740 @entity1 . To evaluate @entity730 ( @entity730 ), we used aortic calcification index (ACI) determined on non-contrast computed tomography. The @entity1 were divided into three groups according to GNRI tertile. Median ACI significantly decreased with increasing GNRI tertile (15.5%, 13.6%, and 7.9%, respectively; P=0.001). On multivariate regression analysis GNRI was significantly correlated with ACI (b=-0.15, P=0.009). We also investigated the combination of GNRI and C-reactive-protein (CRP) for predicting the severity of @entity730 . Low GNRI and high CRP were significantly associated with severe @entity730 , compared with high GNRI and low CRP (OR, 4.07; P=0.004). CONCLUSIONS: GNRI was significantly associated with @entity730 in non-dialyzed @entity740 @entity1 .
