  1. High malnutrition risk = MRST-H scores ≥ 2 points; Low malnutrition risk = MRST-H scores < 2 points; Moderate to high physical activity level = IPAQ scores ≥ 600 MET-min/week; Low physical activity level = IPAQ scores < 600 MET-min/week; Multivariate logistic regression is applied. Adjusted for variables found to have p < 0.25 at univariate analysis in Table 4, age (continuous), sex, and use of a proxy respondent
