Model 1: adjusted for sex and age. Model 2: Model 1 + adjusted for number of comorbidities, time between measurements, onset of delirium during hospitalization, HGS and muscle mass parameters at admission, HGS for height, and relative measures (relative SMM, relative ALM) for weight. Bold indicates statistical significance (p < 0.05). 6-CIT, Six-Item Cognitive Impairment Test; ALM, appendicular lean mass; CI, confidence interval; HGS, hand grip strength; SMI, skeletal muscle mass index; SMM, skeletal muscle mass.
