  1. *Higher complexity of care needs defined as ≥4 RAP triggers.
  2. CCI: Charlson’s comorbidity index; BMI: body mass index; RAP: Resident assessment protocol.
  3. Dynapenia: Based on Handgrip strength <26kg.
  4. Model 1: Adjusted for Age, Educational level, CCI, BMI, and Dynapenia, R2 = 0.088.
  5. Model 2: Adjusted for Age, Educational level, CCI, BMI, Dynapenia and Gait speed, R2 = 0.160.
  6. Model 3: Adjusted for Age, Educational level, CCI, BMI, Handgrip strength (kg) and Gait speed, R2 = 0.149.
