A majority of older adults with cancer develop malnutrition; however, its implications among this vulnerable population is poorly understood. We aimed to quantify the prevalence of nutrition related-symptoms and malnutrition among older adults with gastrointestinal (GI) malignancies and its association with geriatric assessment (GA) impairment, health-related quality of life (HRQOL), and healthcare utilization. Cross-sectional study of older adults (≥60 years) who were referred to the GI Oncology clinic at the University of Alabama at Birmingham. Participants underwent the Cancer & Aging Resilience Evaluation (CARE) survey that includes the abbreviated Patient-Generated Subjective Global Assessment (abPG-SGA) of nutrition. Nutrition scores were dichotomized into normal (0–5) and malnourished (≥6), and multivariate analyses, adjusting for demographics, cancer type, and cancer stage were used to examine associations with GA impairment, HRQOL and healthcare utilization. 336 participants were included, with mean age of 70 ± 7.2y, 56.8% male, with colorectal (33.6%) and pancreatic cancer (24.4%) being the most common diagnoses. Overall, 52.1% of participant were identified as malnourished. Malnutrition was associated with a higher prevalence of several GA impairments including ≥1 falls (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] = 2.1), instrumental Activities of Daily Living (iADL) impairment (aOR = 4.1), and frailty (aOR 8.2). Malnutrition was also associated with impaired HRQOL domains; both physical (aOR = 8.7) and mental (aOR = 5.0), and prior hospitalizations (aOR = 2.2). We found a high prevalence of malnutrition among older adults with GI malignancies that was associated with increased GA impairments, reduced HRQOL, and increased healthcare utilization. Over half (52.1%) of older adults with gastrointestinal malignancies were malnourished with poor appetite and early satiety the most common nutrition related symptoms. Malnutrition was associated with a higher prevalence of several GA impairments including ≥1 falls, instrumental Activities of Daily Living impairment, and frailty, as well as reduced health-related quality life and prior hospitalizations.
