Background and AimsIn line with the global trend, the number of elderly is rising in Iran. It should be noted that the nutritional and health needs of these people, especially those living in nursing houses, are extremely significant. The present study aimed to identify the nutritional and health status and uncover their relationship with received care services by elderlies residing in nursing homes.MethodsAll 373 elderlies living in the nursing homes in Shiraz entered the study, and the requisite data were collected by references to elderlies' files, respective nurses, and elderlies themselves.ResultsThe majority of the elderlies were at risk of malnutrition (62.5% of the total population, 55.4% of females, and approximately 44.6% of males). Elderlies with no insurance coverage mainly fell into the at‐risk and malnutrition categories. There was a significant relationship between the needs assessment scores, reflecting the need for physical and psychological actions, and elderlies' malnutrition (odds ratio = 1.87, 95% confidence interval: 1.79−1.95). For each unit increase in the Physical and psychological need score, the odds of exposure to malnutrition (vs. nonmalnourished and at risk of malnutrition) was 1.87 times after adjustment for confounders.ConclusionThe results of our study revealed that most of the elderlies living in the nursing homes of Shiraz had some levels of malnutrition such as at‐risk for malnutrition (62.5%) and malnourished (18.9%). Based on these results, it is suggested that health policy‐makers take practical steps toward promoting the nutritional care of old people and direct extra supervision to nursing homes and all healthcare provisions.

Objective: This study compares between two types of care for older adults’ health, viz., home -based care and. Institution-based care in the context of China, and further explored the impact of each care type on their health. Methods: A fully aligned polygonal graphical indexing method, t-tests, logistic binary regression analysis were performed using SPSS for data analysis. Results: In both care types, females had higherincidence of one or more chronic disease than males, as well as anxiety. However, hypertension was the chronic disease with the highest incidence, higher in males than females. Care types had significant impact on variables like self-reported health (OR=0.329, [CI95%=0.107–1.010], p<0.05) and mental health (OR=0.567, [CI95%=0.364–0.881], p<0.05), but had no significant impact on the objective physical health (OR=1.010,[CI95%=0.577–1.767], p>0.05). Conclusion: Both the types of care of older adults showed a significant impact on the self-reported and mental health, but only a significant difference was made on their mental health. Information exchange and emotional communication through smart facilities and the Internet usability, such as eHealth training, intelligent old-age care may be good interventions to improve older adults’ health.
