Wu CY, et al. - Researchers studied the link between serum albumin levels and cause-specific mortality among community-dwelling older adults in this cohort study using data from the government-sponsored Annual Geriatric Health Examination Program for the older adults in Taipei City between 2006 and 2010. Using Cox proportional hazards regression models, they assessed the link between albumin levels and cause-specific mortality. They also used spline regression to calculate the risk of mortality related to albumin levels, modeled as continuous variables. Findings demonstrated an association of albumin levels ≥4.4 g/dL with better survival among community-dwelling older adults. A gradual increase in mortality risks was noted as the albumin level decreased. They also found that even mildly low albumin levels (4.2–4.3 g/dL) increased mortality.
