Nutritional Risk Factors Model of Community-Dwelling Older People in Poland-Pilot Study.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Nutritional risk factors are country-specific and change over time, requiring systematic verification.
objectiveThe study was designed to develop a nutritional risk factors model for seniors living in a Polish community.
methodsThe pilot study was conducted in 2022 and 2023 among 301 people aged 60 and older in the Lower Silesia region of Poland. The questionnaire contained 107 test items describing dietary problems rated on a five-point Likert scale. The pre-study concerned understanding of the test items, rating the reproducibility (kappa statistic) and reliability of the scale (α-Cronbach coefficient). The factor structure of the model was developed using structural equation modelling (SEM) in the program R (version 4.3.2.). An exploratory factor analysis (EFA) extracted the three-factor model.
resultsThe factors were described as unhealthy eating (eight test items), irregularities related to meals (four test items), and perception of body weight (four test items). The model was verified using confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). The model's acceptability was confirmed based on data matching indexes, convergent accuracy, differential accuracy, and measurement reliability. There was variation in the identified nutritional risk factors by gender, education, social activity, and family relationships.
conclusionsFocusing on irregularities in nutrition and perception of body weight as nutritional risk factors reveals a very narrow perspective in diagnosing nutritional risk, thus further testing of the model, in a representative group of older people in Poland and other countries, is necessary to confirm the results obtained.
