| Abstract |
Hospitalization over the last one year, an indicator of health service utilization, is an important and costly resource in older adult care. However, data on the relationship between functional status and annual hospitalization among older Chinese people are sparse, particularly for those with and without multimorbidity. In this study,we aimed to examine the association between functional status and annual hospitalization among community-dwelling older adults in Southern China, and to explore the independent contributions of socio-demographic variables, lifestyle and health-related factors and functional status to hospitalization in multimorbid and non-multimorbid groups. This cross-sectional, community-based survey, studied 2603 older adults aged 60 years and above. Functional status was assessed by Functional Independence Measure (FIM). The outcome variable was any hospitalization over the last one year (annual hospitalization). Clustered logistic regression was used to analyze the independent contributions of FIM domains to annual hospitalization. Only in the multimorbid group, did the risk of annual hospitalization decrease significantly with increasing FIM score in walk domain (adjusted OR = 0.80 per SD increase, 95% CI = 0.70-0.91, P = 0.001) and its independent contribution accounted for 24.62%, more than that of socio-demographic variables (18.46%). However, among individuals without multimorbidity, there were no significant associations between FIM domains and annual hospitalization; thus, no independent contribution to the risk of hospitalization was observed. There exist some degree of correlation between functional status and annual hospitalization among older adults in Southern China, which might be due to the presence of multimorbidity with advanced age. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 8. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 13 February 2018.
All research outputs
#3,965,949
of 23,023,224 outputs
Outputs from Health and Quality of Life Outcomes
#397
of 2,186 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#90,866
of 446,078 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Health and Quality of Life Outcomes
#23
of 53 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,023,224 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 82nd percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 2,186 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 5.5. This one has done well, scoring higher than 77% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 446,078 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done well, scoring higher than 79% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 53 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 20th percentile – i.e., 20% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
