(1) Background: Hip fractures are highly prevalent traumatic events with significant functional consequences, particularly among the older population. These fractures are associated with increased mortality, postoperative complications, and functional dependence. Medical and nutritional factors such as malnutrition and sarcopenia are crucial for predicting functional outcomes and mortality in these patients. This study aimed to assess the nutritional status, vitamin D levels, and sarcopenia, as well as their relationship with mortality, mean hospital stay, and 30-day-readmission rate, in patients with hip fracture who underwent surgery in a rural hospital setting. (2) Methods: A longitudinal retrospective study involving 124 patients who underwent hip fracture surgery in 2021 was conducted. Sociodemographic, surgical, and nutritional data, including vitamin D, albumin, and blood urea nitrogen (BUN) levels, were collected. (3) Results: The average age of the sample was 89.1 years, with a postoperative 30-day-mortality rate of 8.1% and an average hospital stay of 10.4 days. Vitamin D deficiency was present in 79.7% of patients, and a high prevalence of malnutrition was indicated by low albumin and elevated BUN levels. Elevated BUN levels and low vitamin D levels were associated with higher mortality. (4) Conclusions: Adequate nutritional assessment in patients with hip fracture is vital for identifying the risks of complications and mortality. Understanding the current nutritional status and its associated complications will aid in developing strategies to improve health and reduce complications in the future.

Background/Objectives: The aims of this study were to establish the relationship between hand grip strength (HGS) and sleep disturbances, as well as to correlate HGS with the perception of general health status. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among Physical Therapy students. Participants completed the International Physical Activity Questionnaire–Short Form (IPAQ-SF), the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), and the General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-12). HGS was measured using a dynamometer and self-reported anonymously. Results: A total of 145 students participated (58.6% males; mean age: 21.0 ± 3.9 years). The average HGS was 42.4 kg in the dominant hand and 39.2 kg in the non-dominant one. Poor subjective sleep quality was reported by 27.5%; 84.1% slept less than 7 h. GHQ-12 scores indicated that 31.7% may be experiencing emotional distress. HGS was inversely correlated with PSQI scores in both dominant (ρ = –0.211; p = 0.019) and non-dominant hands (ρ = –0.178; p = 0.049). Students with GHQ-12 scores >12 had significantly lower HGS. No significant correlation was found between HGS and physical activity intensity. Conclusions: Lower hand grip strength was correlated with poor sleep quality and higher GHQ-12 scores, independently of physical activity levels. These findings suggest that HGS may serve as a simple and accessible indicator of psychological vulnerability in university students.
