Abstract
Serum albumin was measured in 126 men (average age 70.6; range 40 to 96) of a Veterans Administration Nursing Home, and was correlated with other items in an extensive clinical data base, including death or survival during the year after the analysis. The reason for institutionalization was chronic neurologic disease or other disabling physical condition in 63 men (group A), and psychiatric disorder in 63 men (group B).This publication has 17 references indexed in Scilit:
