- The study examined the link between Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index (GNRI) and stroke in older adults using NHANES data (1999-2018).
- Higher GNRI scores were significantly linked to lower stroke odds (12% lower per SD increase), showing a linear dose-response relationship.
- The inverse association was stronger in females and current drinkers compared to males.
- Findings suggest GNRI could be a useful tool for nutritional risk screening in the elderly, though further prospective studies are needed.
