Results
In all, 579 eligible residents were selected for study (36% of homes provided 15 or fewer while 64% provided more than 15 but fewer than 25 eligible patients). Of these, 15 residents were removed from analysis due to missing data on either age, sex, race or index Hb level. Thus 564 residents were retained for analysis. Some remaining residents were found to be missing data on the variables ADL Score (n¼36), Balance Score (n¼37) or GFR (MDRD), (n¼15). For these variables, missing values were imputed as described in the previous section.
Patient characteristics
Table 2 shows key resident characteristics by anemia status for all eligible residents. The mean age was 81.0 years (12.3); 70% were female; 12% were African-American. (Race is defined as African- American (i.e., a person having origins in any of the black racial groups of Africa) or non-African- American.) More than half (56%) of all residents were identified as anemic from their index Hb. Only 66% of the anemic patients were women, compared to 76% of the non-anemic patients ( p¼0.012). A significantly higher proportion of anemic residents had a low GFR (GFR560 mL/min/1.73m2; p¼0.048), diabetes ( p¼0.006), hypertension ( p¼0.022), and cancer ( p¼0.008) than non-anemic residents. There was no significant difference between the prevalence of other comorbid conditions between the anemic and non-anemic residents.
Anemia prevalence
Table 3 shows anemia prevalence rates and mean Hb levels for various age categories in both men and women. Mean Hb was higher for men than for women (12.2 g/dL2.0 vs. 11.71.6 g/dL); however, due to the 1-g/dL higher threshold in the WHO definition for men, there was a higher proportion of anemia in men (64%) versus women (53%). Mean Hb levels
and anemia rates in this nursing home population showed no clear trend with regard to advancing age, even when analyzed within gender. Of the 317
