“…The translated and validated Portuguese version was used, and scores of anxiety were interpreted as minimal or normal (0 -10), slight (11)(12)(13)(14)(15)(16)(17)(18)(19)(20), moderate (21 -30), or severe (>31). 17 Statistical methods: Findings are presented as mean ± SD.…”

“…Individual responses are so varied that even the best calculations occasionally miss the point, rendering it necessary to employ indirect calorimetry, nitrogen balance, and other cumbersome diagnostic tools. 13 It is currently recommended that all hospitalized patients undergo nutritional assessment. Between 30% and 50% of hospitalized patients will display signs of protein-energy malnutrition, and as many as 15% will be selected for some form of nutritional support.…”

A cross-sectional study of 120 subjects was performed with the purpose of evaluating stress hormones and emotional stress (anxiety) in outpatient and hospitalized subjects. The aims were to determine the degree of objective stress, as well as to correlate this finding with subjective findings, estimated using Beck´s Anxiety Inventory.. METHOD: Three populations were investigated, namely outpatient clinical cases (Group I, n = 30), hospitalized clinical individuals (Group II, n = 30), and hospitalized surgical candidates (Group III, n = 30). Controls (Group IV, n = 30) were healthy volunteers who were health-care professionals and students. To avoid hormone interactions, only men were enrolled in all groups. All hospitalized subjects were tested on admission and before therapeutic interventions. Fasting epinephrine, norepinephrine, and cortisol were measured in the morning, and Beck´s Anxiety Inventory was adminstered by a trained psychologist. RESULTS:The 3 patient groups displayed higher anxiety levels than the controls. Hormone concentrations did not present remarkable changes and did not correlate with subjective stress (anxiety).CONCLUSIONS: 1) Subjective disorders (as determined with Beck´s Anxiety Inventory ) were a common finding in both outpatient and hospitalized populations, without differences between the various groups; 2) Objective stress (as determined by elevated hormone levels) was more difficult to confirm-findings rarely exceeded the reference range; 3) Correlation between the two variables could not be demonstrated; 4) Further studies are necessary to define stress quantification and interpretation in patient populations, especially in relationship with nutritional diagnosis and dietetic prescription.
