Variables including demographic information, body mass index, frailty, depression, physical activity daily living, comorbidity, polypharmacy and diabetic characteristics. Nutritional status was defined by Mini Nutritional Assessment Short Form. Data was entried by Redcap and analised by Spss 22.0 verson. A total 148 participants with mean of age was 76 ± 7.47 years old, and 62.2% were female. The mean of BMI total score was 22.35 ± 2.42. There were 12.8% patients with malnutrition status and 41.9% with risk of malnutrition. There was a statistically significant association between the nutritional status and factors such as BMI (p < 0.05), physical activity daily living (OR: 3.2; p < 0.05), diabetes knowledge (OR: 3.7; p < 0.05), diabetes complications (OR: 1.12; p < 0.05). The prevalence of malnutrition and risk of malnutrition were respectively high. Uncontrolled type 2 diabetes in older people with decreased physical activity daily living, poor diabetes knowledge and diabetes complication should be screened for nutritional status.
