Nutrition Status

Background: The population of elderly people aged ≥60 years is increasing worldwide and is projected to reach 1.5 billion by 2050. In India, the elderly people constitute 8.1% of the total population. Malnutrition is highly prevalent in the elderly population due to various diseases and impairments.Methods: A cross-sectional study was carried out amongst 209 elderly people from February 2018 to April 2018. A questionnaire was used to collect data related to socio-demographic characteristics, Mini Nutritional Assessment (MNA) and regarding medication use, comorbidity, use of a walking aid, smoking and alcohol consumption. The MNA tool was used for the assessment of nutrition status. For an assessment of functional status, the activities of daily living scale and instrumental activities of daily living scale were used. Descriptive analysis and Chi-square test were used to present the data.Results: The average MNA score was 23.5 (SD=4.3, range: 7-30) and that of BMI was 23.8 (SD=3.9, range: 15.6-38.9). Of 209 study participants, 9.1% were malnourished, 32.5% were at risk of malnutrition and remaining 58.4% were having normal nutritional status. The possible predictors of malnutrition were older age, lower education level, staying single, unemployed, low income and less than three meals daily.Conclusions: The overall prevalence of malnutrition was found to be 9.1% but the proportion of elderly people at risk of malnutrition was relatively high. Diagnosis and treatment of elderly people at high risk for malnutrition based on the findings of this study may improve functional status and prognosis of elderly people.

AbstractSufficient caloric intake is important to maintain the balanced health status, especially during the period of aging, as aging and sickness share paths. Maintaining adequate nutritional balance is the best preventive measure to counteract the risk of malnutrition. There are several causes for malnutrition in elderly people, and some techniques such as anthropometric measurements, laboratory and clinical parameters could help to diagnose malnutrition in these patients. The use of a simple validated questionnaire called the ‘Mini Nutritional Assessment’ measures the nutritional status of elderly patients. In this review, we discuss about the malnutrition in elderly people with and without a known cause and we present some of nutritional intervention. There are promising strategies that help overcoming malnutrition.

Introducción: El conocimiento relacionado con los adultos mayores, referente a los hábitos de alimentación, características antropométricas y su estado de salud, es de vital interés para entes gubernamentales y privados interesados en esta población, a fin de diseñar estrategias que permitan elaborar diagnósticos y planes de acción. Objetivo: Evaluar el estado nutricional de un grupo de adultos mayores del corregimiento de Güintar del Municipio de Anzá, Antioquia-Colombia. Materiales y métodos: Se utilizaron los siguientes análisis: multivariado de la varianza (MANOVA) con contraste canónico de tipo ortogonal, de correspondencia múltiple, descriptivo de tipo unidimensional y de frecuencias de tipo unidimensional;  para lo cual se analizó la información recopilada mediante encuesta, de acuerdo con los factores de discriminación por sexo. Resultados: Se encontró que las mujeres tenían un Índice de Masa Corporal superior al de los hombres; en cuanto al consumo de alimentos se evidenció que el 66,8% de los adultos mayores ingieren las tres comidas al día, el 21,5% incorporan lácteos, legumbres y pescado de manera regular, al 50% les gustan las frutas y 16,7% consumen más de tres vasos de agua al día. Conclusión: Cerca de una tercera parte de los adultos mayores evaluados presentaron riesgo de malnutrición (más mujeres que hombres) y más del 10% se encontraba con malnutrición (más hombres que mujeres), situación que amerita replantear las políticas alimentarias para favorecer un estado nutricional adecuado y por ende la salud de este grupo poblacional.AbstractIntroduction: The knowledge related to elderly people concerning feeding habits, anthropometric characteristics, and their health status, is of vital interest to governmental and private entities interested in this population, in order to design strategies that allow to develop diagnoses and action plans. Objective: To evaluate the nutritional status of a group of elderly people in the town of Güintar from the municipality of Anza in Antioquia, Colombia. Materials and methods: The following analysis were used: multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) with canonical contrast of orthogonal type, multiple correspondence, descriptive of one-dimensional type and frequencies of one-dimensional type, where the information gathered through a survey was analyzed according to the factors of discrimination by sex. Results: It was found that women had a higher Body Mass Index than men. In terms of food consumption, it could be seen that 66.8% of the elderly people eat three meals per day, 21.5% incorporate dairy products, legumes and fish on a regular basis, 50% like fruits and 16.7% consume more than three glasses of water a day. Conclusion: About one third of the elderly people assessed presented risk of malnutrition (more women than men) and more than 10% were malnourished (more men than women). This situation requires to rethink food policies to promote adequate nutritional status and; therefore, the health of this population group.
