Bold values indicate significant correlation (p < 0.05). ADL—activities of daily living, BMI—body mass index, ESR—erythrocytes sedimentation rate, GDS—geriatric depression scale, IADL—instrumental activities of daily Living, MMSE—mini-mental state examination, MNA—mini nutritional assessment, RU—rural/urban area, WBC—white blood cells. * p < 0.05; ** p < 0.01.
