Background: Worldwide the elderly population gradually increasing and that will definitely pose several challenges. Malnutrition is one of the major but neglected problem in elderly. They are at risk of malnutrition due to physical, psychological, social, dietary and environmental risk factors. Malnutrition in elderly is associated with adverse health effects. Hence to study the nutritional status of elderly.Methods: The study was carried out between January 2016- June 2017. 545 elderly were included in the study. Out of the 6 subcentres, 1 subcentre (Uchagaon) was selected by simple random sampling technique and house to house survey was carried out to select eligible elderly participants in the villages of selected subcentre. Data was collected from eligible elderly by using mini nutritional assessment (MNA) tool.Results: Majority of the participants (65.1%) were between the age group of 60-69 years. 55% were females. 23.5% were malnourished, 49% were at risk of malnutrition and 27.5% had normal nutritional status.Conclusions: The present study concluded that majority of the elderly were at risk of malnutrition. There is a need of actions to improve the nutritional status of the elderly.

Abstract Objective Nutritional assessment can early identify patients who are malnourished and at risk of malnutrition. To examine the effect of nutritional status on wound healing in elderly burn patients, we used the MNA-SF to measure the nutritional status of elderly patients. This study aimed to examine the role of MNA-SF in elderly burn patients through the correlation analysis of wound-healing indicators and MNA-SF score. Design Prospective observational and cross-sectional study. Methods This study used the MNA-SF to investigate the elderly burn patients at the department of burn. According to the score, the patients fell into three groups: good nutritional status (more than 12 points), malnutrition risk (8~11 points), and malnutrition (0~7 points). At the same time, we measured and compared the wound-healing indicators among the three groups of patients, and detected the correlation. Results The statistical analysis found gender had a slight influence on the score of nutritional status. While age was negatively correlated with the MNA-SF score and nutrition-related indicators. There was a low positive linear correlation between the wound healing percent area change or wound healing rate of patients and the score of the MNA-SF. Conclusion This study finds malnutrition is common among hospitalized elderly burn patients. The application of the MNA-SF in elderly burn patients is efficient and accurate to identify malnutrition early and prevent further obstruction of the normal wound healing, which can provide reference points for early nutrition intervention programs.

Background: An adequate caloric intake is a major determinant for the health status especially when degenerative conditions become a predominant risk for difficult-to-treat diseases as in aging. Methods: A structured search of literature on the major databases was performed using terms as nutrition, elderly and malnutrition. Results: According to most referenced articles, it appears to be unquestionable that both organic and social risk factors [economic hardship, loneliness, institutionalization] are important as determining causes of protein-caloric malnutrition. Some anthropometric, clinical and laboratory parameters can help to make diagnosis and quantify malnutrition. However, most of them are not cheap or are not simple to perform especially in the setting of General Practice. The application of a simple questionnaire [Mini Nutritional Assessment, MNA] allows to obtain in a fast, easy and non-invasive way a valid assessment of the nutritional status in geriatric patients. The maintenance of the nutritional status is the best measure to counteract the risk of proteincaloric malnutrition and its complications which often sneakily affects elderly population and in particular frail patients. Conclusion: This review, based on updated concepts, examines all the above mentioned points together with some aspects associated with malnutrition as an indicator of disease severity and health costs in the elderly population. Finally, the impact of nutritional intervention and nutrients supplementation on general indices of malnutrition are discussed as a promising strategy.

Background: Frailty syndrome is one of the most important multifactorial medical syndromes, which is characterized by a decrease in functionality of many systems and organs. Material and methods: In order to establish the nutritional determinants that contribute to the onset of frailty syndrome, a study was performed on a group of 50 patients, aged ≥65 years with chronic pathologies and geriatric syndromes. All participants were examined according to clinical features (history, clinical examination), Mini Nutritional Assessment and of the Complex Geriatric Assessment, which included: the data of the frailty tools, age category, Vulnerable Elders Survey, Charlson Comorbidity Index, autonomy – Activity Daily Living, Instrumental Activity Daily Living, Tinetti scale, psychoaffective status – by memory test Mini-Mental State Examination and the Geriatric Scale of Depression in the context of nutrition in the elderly. A clustered analysis (k-means method) of nutritional status showed that the most relevant indicators that separated the clusters were: age category, gender, clinical scale of frailty, comorbidities and polymedication. Results: Frailty through the multidimensional aspects that it meets has an increased prevalence among the elderly with an unfavorable prognosis. Following the proposed study, it was revealed that insufficient nutrition and comorbidities can lead to the weakening of the institutionalized age. The results obtained by evaluating the bio-psycho-social aspects characterize the profile of the institutionalized elderly and can be used as a basis for the development of effective strategies aimed at reducing physical, cognitive and social frailty. Conclusions: The comparative evaluation between both groups of elderly people by gender, showed a normal nutritional status with a higher share in women in the group of 75-84 years, compared to older men, and malnutrition was practically manifested equally in both groups in the study (men/women)

Nutritional status is a series of related parameters collected using different available methods. In order to determine the nutritional status of elderly populations and ensure nutritional support based on an individual approach, the implementation of the increasingly used foodomics approach is available; this approach plays a key role in personalized diets and in the optimization of diets for a population group, such as an elderly population. The Mini Nutritional Assessment (MNA) method and the Nottingham Screening Tool (NST) form were used on 50 users in a home for the elderly in northwest Croatia. A loss of body mass (BM) was statistically significantly higher for those who had the following: decreased food intake in the last week and users who had complete and partial feeding autonomy. Additionally, the obtained data on drug intake, fluid, individual nutrients, and physical activity are based on an individual approach. The available documentation provides insight into nutritional values and food preparation in an attempt to satisfy a holistic approach in the evaluation of exposure while trying to achieve as many elements of foodomics as possible.

Sarcopenia and malnutrition are commonly occurring conditions in the elderly that frequently coexist, leading to substantial effects on morbidity/mortality. Evidence established muscle-specific microRNAs (miRNAs) or myomiRs as essential regulators of skeletal muscle processes, from myogenesis to muscle homeostasis. This study aimed to evaluate the association between myomiRs and sarcopenia and explore the potential of nutrition in mediating this association. qPCR was employed to characterize the myomiR-1, -133a/b, -206, -208b, and -499 expression profiles of 109 non-sarcopenic and 109 sarcopenic subjects. In our sample, the proportion malnourished or at-risk subjects was higher in sarcopenia (p < 0.001). Among the detected myomiRs (miR-133a/b and miR-206), lower levels of miR-133b was significantly associated with the presence of sarcopenia (p = 0.006); however, this relationship was not independent from nutritional status in multivariate analysis, suggesting a mediating effect of nutrition on the relationship between miR-133b and sarcopenia. Correlation analyses showed that lower miR-133b levels were associated with poor nutritional status (Mini Nutritional Assessment Long Form (MNA-LF) score, p = 0.005); furthermore, correlations with albumin, ferritin, and iron were found. Similar results were obtained for miR-206. Statistically more significant correlations were observed in subjects with sarcopenia. In conclusion, our findings highlight a nutrient-miR-133b/miR-206 pathway having a potential role in the age-related muscle decline.

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.
