Abstract: Impairment of cognitive function is the most cause of dependency in elderly. This occurs due to aging that causes anatomical changes such as waning of the brain and biochemical changes in the central nervous system. The purpose of this study was to determine the cognitive function in elderly people at Koka village, Tombulu district. This was a descriptive cross sectional study from primary mental health data. There were 53 respondents who were eligible to the inclusion criteria. This study showed the result of MMSE, 77.4% with a normal cognitive function, 20.8% with a probable cognitive disruption, and 1.8% with a definite cognitive disruption. This study showed from Mini Cog test, 64.2% with a normal cognitive function 28.3% with a probable cognitive disruption and 7.5% with a definite cognitive disruption. Conclusion: Based on the result, it can be concluded that most of the elderly people at Koka village, Tombulu district have a normal cognitive functionKeywords: cognitive function, elderly people, MMSE, mini cog Abstrak: Dikalangan lansia, penurunan fungsi kognitif merupakan penyebab terbesar terjadinya ketergantungan terhadap orang lain untuk merawat diri sendiri.

Background: Older persons are particularly vulnerable to malnutrition and it is very difficult to provide them with adequate nutrition. As the age increases, energy requirement per kilogram body weight is reduced. Thus, People belonging to the older age group are at risk for malnutrition because of the evident physical changes related to aging and numerous psychological and social factors such as depression, lack of independence and limited income.Methods: A cross- sectional study was conducted in the Outpatient Department of an urban health training centre. A total of 351 participants were included (154 men and 197 women) aged 65 years and above. The nutritional status of participants was assessed using the mini-nutritional assessment tool.Results: Out of 351 elderly patients, only 25% were observed to be well-nourished, 58.6% were at the risk of malnutrition and around 16.2% of the elderly patients were malnourished. A significant association was found between nutritional status and older age groups, female gender, dependent financial status and inadequate dietary intake.Conclusions: According to this study, the risk of malnutrition among the elderly is very high. It depicts that malnutrition can be a result of many factors and thus, this problem should be solved through health education to the elderly and their families by which diet and lifestyle of this section of our population can be improved.

Baseline Information

Malnutrition, or under nutrition, is a frequent and often unrecognized problem in older adults. It can result in immune dysfunction; poor wound healing, anaemia, longer hospitalization and higher readmission rates, delayed recovery from surgery and a higher rate of mortality. Current statistics for the elderly in India gives a prelude to a new set of medical, social, and economic problems that could arise if a timely initiative in this direction is not taken by the program managers and policy makers. A community based observational, descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted among the elderly people residing at Banspole sub-centre area to nd out their nutritional status. Geriatric people who were the permanent resident of the study area for at least six months were included in the study. A proforma was used to collect the baseline information of the study subjects and details of factors inuencing nutrition status. Mini nutritional assessment (MNA) tool was used to assess nutritional status of 2 elderly. 300 elderly patients were included in this study with an average age of 77.29 ± 6.97 years and BMI of 23.67 ± 3.49 kg/m . Age, literacy and nancial status were found to be signicantly associated with malnutrition. Geriatric nutritional assessment should be integrated into a comprehensive geriatric assessment. Regular assessment of the nutritional status among elderly followed by early interventions will improve the health outcomes, prevents the onset of disability, improves quality of life and saves healthcare costs.
