Very little studies were done on relationship of the dental status and the nutritional status. The present study was done to study relation between edentulism and the presence of anemia. The study was included of 46 adult patients with edentulism and same numbers of patients were taken as controls. The results were tabulated and analyzed with the help of IBM SPSS statistics 20 using student’s t test. The hemoglobin levels were lower in the edentulous patients that that of the control group. The present study had shown that the nutritional status were poor resulting in anemia in case of edentulous patients as compared to control group with the same age group.

This study aimed to assess health related quality of life (HRQoL) in adult patients with Crohn’s disease (CD), considering disease severity and gender differences, and also its relationship with nutritional status. Consecutive adult patients aged 18–65 years with CD were recruited. Disease activity was clinically defined by the Crohn’s Disease Activity Index (CDAI) in active and quiescent phases. HRQoL was evaluated using the validated short form (SF)-36 questionnaire for the Italian population. Additionally, anthropometry, bioimpedance analysis, and handgrip-strength (HGS) were performed. Findings showed that 135 patients (79 men and 56 women) were included, having a mean age of 38.8 ± 14 years and a BMI of 23.2 ± 3.7 kg/m2. Overall, active CD patients had a lower perception of their QoL compared to those clinically quiescent, while gender differences emerged mostly in the quiescent group. Interestingly, HRQoL was significantly associated with many nutritional variables, and muscle strength was the main predictor. Therefore, HRQoL is perceived lower in active compared to quiescent patients, but women experienced poorer QoL than men, especially in the quiescent phase. Finally, higher QoL scores were found in subjects being in clinical remission phase with a preserved muscle function. However, further studies are still required to verify these findings.

Background: The decline in nutritional status of hospitalized patients was reported to be assossiated with longer length of stay and higher hospital charges. However, the effect of changes in nutritional status on hospital outcomes in Indonesia is still unknown.Objective: To determine the effect of changes in nutritional status on length of stay and hospital charge among adult hospitalized patients.Method: A total subjects of 262 adult patients who were admitted to internal and neurology departments of Dr. Sardjito, Dr.M.Jamil, and Sanglah hospitals were included in this study. Nutritional status of each patient was assessed using Subjective Global Assessment (SGA) method. Information on length of stay and hospital charge was collected based on medical records.Results: Subjects with nutritional status declined from normally to moderately, normally to severely, and moderately to severely malnourished were 6,3 (OR=6.32, 95% CI=1,3-29,8); 11,9 (OR=11.94, 95% CI=1,02-139,1); and 6,90 (OR=6.9, 95%CI=1,5-32,0 )times more likely to stay longer than those with nutritional status stayed normal during hospitalitation. They also had 3,3; unlimited; and 1,76 times risk on higher hospital charges than reference group (95% CI=1,123-9,529; unlimited; and 0,590-5,245).Conclusions: The declines of nutritional status from normally to moderately, normally to severely, and moderately to severely malnourished in hospitalized patients influenced to longer length of stay. Normally to moderately and normally to severely malnourished in hospitalized patients influenced to higher hospital charges.
