Furthermore, patients undergoing RT (OR = 4.95; p = 0.017), those with severe malnutrition according to the SGA (SGA-C) (OR = 6.25; p = 0.046), and those with decreased MALAT1 levels (OR = 4.28; p = 0.025) had a significantly higher chance of losing 10% of their body weight. Here, MALAT1 is linked to nutritional deficiency disease.
