Simultaneous hip and upper-limb fractures are associated with lower Geriatric Nutritional Index scores than isolated hip fractures: a cross-sectional study of 858 women.

Data show that GNRI scores were significantly lower in the subgroup of women with hip fracture and concurrent upper-extremity fracture than in the controls with isolated hip fracture. Although caution is needed in interpreting our results due to the cross-sectional design of the study, we suggest that low GNRI scores may have a role in the genesis of the concurrent fractures.
