AbstractObjectiveTo establish the food consumption, dietary habits and nutritional status of people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA) and adults whose HIV status is not established.DesignCross-sectional descriptive survey.SettingThika and Bungoma Districts, Kenya.SubjectsA random sample of 439 adults; 174 adults living with HIV/AIDS and 265 adults whose HIV/AIDS status was not established in Thika and Bungoma Districts.ResultsMajority of PLWHA consume foods that are low in nutrients to build up the immune system and help maintain adequate weight, and there is little variety in the foods they consume. More adults who are HIV-positive are undernourished than those whose status is not established. Of the HIV-positive adults, those with a BMI of ≤18·5 kg/m2 were 23·6 % (Thika 20·0 % and Bungoma 25·7 %) while of the adults whose status is not established those with BMI ≤ 18·5 kg/m2 were 13·9 % (Thika 9·3 % and Bungoma 16·7 %).ConclusionsAdults who are HIV-positive are more likely to be undernourished than those whose status is not established, as there is a significant difference (P = 0·000) between the nutritional status (BMI) of PLWHA and those whose HIV/AIDS status is not established. PLWHA consume foods that are low in nutrients to promote their nutritional well-being and health.

The question of the nutrition of patients has recently occupied a prominent place in the German medical literature, as well as in Berlin clinics. Nutrition for infants, nutrition for patients obsessed with diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, nutrition for those suffering from metabolic disorders, nutrition for surgical patients, pre- and postoperative - cause a lot of controversy in medical circles and more and more attracts the attention of practitioners.

UNSTRUCTURED Older patients account for a significant proportion of patients undergoing colorectal cancer surgery, and are vulnerable to a number of pre-operative risk factors that are not often present in younger patients. Three pre-operative risk factors more prevalent in the elderly are frailty, sarcopenia, and malnutrition. Whilst each of these has been studied in isolation, there is little information on the interplay between them in older surgical patients. One particular area of increasing interest is the use of urine metabolomics for objective evaluation of dietary profiles and malnutrition. Herein we describe the design, cohort, and standard operating procedures of a planned prospective study of older surgical patients undergoing colorectal cancer resection across multiple institutions in the United Kingdom. These procedures include serial frailty evaluations (Clinical Frailty Scale and Groningen Frailty Indicator), functional assessments (with hand grip strength and 4-metre walk test), muscle mass evaluations using computerized tomography morphometric analysis and evaluation of nutritional status using analysis of urinary dietary biomarkers. As these are all areas of common derangement in the elderly surgical population, prospectively studying them in concert will allow for analysis of their interplay as well as the development of predictive models for those at risk for commonly tracked surgical complications and outcomes.

A baixa qualidade da alimentação e o sedentarismo representam riscos para o acúmulo de gordura corporal e desenvolvimento de doenças já na juventude. O objetivo do estudo foi investigar o consumo alimentar e o estado nutricional de alunos do curso de Enfermagem por meio de atividade prática em uma disciplina curricular relacionada à nutrição. Trata-se de um estudo transversal feito com as informações obtidas durante o desenvolvimento de uma atividade da disciplina denominada “Aspectos nutricionais na assistência de enfermagem”, na qual participaram 76 estudantes maiores de 18 anos. As informações nutricionais foram obtidas por meio de entrevista em pares, registro de um padrão alimentar e aplicação de um Questionário de Frequência Alimentar. Os integrantes do estudo eram na maioria mulheres (80,3%) e a idade média da amostra foi de 25,3 ± 7,3 anos. Muitos indivíduos apresentaram ingestão hídrica insuficiente, a qual se correlacionou negativamente com o consumo de refrigerante (r= -0,254 p=0,029). 48,8% da amostra estava acima do peso corporal e 75% eram sedentários. O fracionamento alimentar foi considerado satisfatório, mas o consumo de frutas e hortaliças foi abaixo das recomendações (0,6±0,9; 1,7±1,2 porções). Houve alto consumo de açúcar e gordura, identificado por itens, como o refrigerante e alimentos fritos. Acredita-se que a disciplina relacionada à nutrição, presente na grade curricular do curso, possa servir como uma importante ferramenta de estímulo a melhores hábitos de vida, partindo de práticas alimentares mais adequadas.Palavras-chave: Consumo alimentar.

The objective of the study was to investigate the food consumption and the nutritional status of students of the Nursing course through practical activity in a curricular discipline related to nutrition. This is a cross-sectional study carried out with the information obtained during the development of an activity of the discipline called "Nutritional Aspects in Nursing Care", in which 76 students older than 18 years participated. The nutritional information was obtained by a paired interview, recording a food pattern and applying a Food Frequency Questionnaire. The study participants were mostly female (80.3%) and the mean age of the sample was 25.3 ± 7.3 years. Many subjects presented insufficient water intake, which correlated negatively with the soda consumption (r = -0.254 p = 0.029). 48.8% of the sample was overweight and 75% were sedentary. The number of meals was considered satisfactory, but consumption of fruits and vegetables was below the recommendations (0.6 ± 0.9, 1.7 ± 1.2 portions). There was high consumption of sugar and fat, identified by items such as soda and fried foods. It is believed that the discipline related to nutrition, present in the curriculum of the course, can serve as an important tool to stimulate better life habits, starting from more appropriate eating practices.Keywords: Food consumption.

Malnutrition is a significant negative factor for surgical patients in the entire perioperative period. However, this factor can be controlled and is easy to detect in the outpatient setting. Starting from May 1, 2020, surgeons have the possibility to prescribe sipping under certain conditions for a limited period of 4 weeks. Thereby they have become able to strongly impact any altered nutritional status both preoperatively and postoperatively. The authors describe scoring questionnaires used for the detection of malnutrition and required by health insurance companies. Additionally, prescribing conditions and potential mistakes in the outpatient setting are analysed.
