UVODU literaturi ne postoji univerzalno prihvaćena definicija medicinskog skrininga, već samo saglasnost o nekim njegovim karakteristikama: a) skrining predstavlja sistematsku primenu testova ili drugih procedura sa ciljem otkrivanja pojedinaca kod kojih postoji dovoljno veliki rizik da će oboleti od određene bolesti, pa to opravdava dalja istraživanja ili preventivne aktivnosti; b) primenjuje se na delu populacije koja nije tražila bilo kakvu pomoć zbog simptoma bolesti na koju se ispituje; c) korist od sprovođenja skrininga mora biti ne samo javnozdravstvena već i individualna (1). Za razumevanje procesa skrininga značajnim se čine i tumačenja koja je davne 1951. godine dala Američka komisija za hronične bolesti: 1) skriningom (testovima ili drugim dijagnostičkim procedurama za brzu primenu) jasno se odvajaju zdrave osobe od onih koje verovatno imaju određenu bolest; 2) skrining nije dijagnostička procedura, te osobe sa pozitivnim ili suspektnim nalazom moraju biti usmerene na dalje dijagnostičke i terapijske postupke (2). Ovo tumačenje skrininga navodi na razmišljanje o pitanjima dostupnosti dijagnostičkih procedura za identifikaciju pravih slučajeva bolesti među suspektnim
Introduction: Elders have higher health risks due to changes connected with general abilities and everyday functioning as a result of biological ageing. Researchers have shown that 4 out of 5 elderly people suffer from some kind of chronic illness, and the needs of this population are mainly connected to the supply of adequate medical and social support. Adequate nutrition is an important protection factor, characteristic for the general health of the elderly population, in cases such as chronic cardiovascular diseases, cognitive problems, etc. Both obesity and malnutrition are important health problems amongst elders. The aim: The aim of this article is to analyze the importance of effects related to the nutritional needs amongst the elderly and to provide guidance for further researches. Materials and methods: The article is written based on recent scientific literature review, and uses descriptive methods and scientific documents analysis. Nutrition and health of elderly: Persons above the age of 65, suffer higher risk of health problems due to nutritional factors associated with illnesses commonly related to ageing, such as co morbidity in correlation with psychological health. Luger and others found connections between malnutrition, social participation and Qol amongst elders. Despite that, they couldn't prove if malnutrition is cause or consequence. New studies have shown nutrition has important influence on skeletomuscular pain, liver diseases, fractures, cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, cognitive problems and colorectal cancer. Conclusion: Based on present knowledge, we can conclude that adequate nutritional supply can work as an important protective factor to benefit the general health status of the elders. It is necessary to develop national health strategies, educate population, while national Social and Health policies needs to recognize the nutritional needs of elderly people to ensure they are able to get the right amount of healthy foods required for securing their well being. New research should focus on different dietary styles and gender differences in health status connected to dietary intake.
APSTRAKT Cilj. Ishrana ima ključni značaj za rast i razvoj svakog pojedinca. Kolektivna ishrana studentske populacije predstavlja važan segment zdravog načina ishrane i predmet je interesovanja obrazovnih i zdravstvenih ustanova, ali i čitavog društva. Cilj ovog rada bio je istražiti navike u ishrani studentske populacije i ispitati razlike u odnosu na pol. Metode. Istraživanje je dizajnirano kao studija preseka. Epidemiološka anketa sprovedena je na Visokoj medicinskoj i poslovno-tehnološkoj školi strukovnih studija u Šapcu. Istraživanjem je obuhvaćeno 100 studenata sa tri studijska programa: Zdravstvena nega, Farmacija i Informacione tehnologije. Kao instrument istraživanja korišćen je anketni upitnik konstruisan za potrebe ovog istraživanja, koji sadrži 20 pitanja.
