“…Thus, it is critical to identify the risk factors associated with malnutrition on hospital admission to try to avoid or minimize the deleterious effects on patients' recovery 7,8 , given that hospital malnutrition is associated with longer hospital stays and higher incidence of infections and postoperative complications 9 , further burdening the public health system. In this context, the objective of this study was to determine the variables associated with a higher risk of hospital malnutrition in patients staying at public hospitals of Manaus, Amazonas, Brazil.…”

A B S T R A C T ObjectiveTo identify factors associated with malnutrition in patients hospitalized in general public hospitals of the city of Manaus, Amazonas, Brazil. MethodsThis cross-sectional study included 397 patients of both sexes aged more than 18 years, staying at three public hospitals in Manaus, Amazonas. The patients were submitted to anthropometric and subjective global assessments, the latter being the main diagnostic method. For association analyses between malnutrition (dependent variable) and other covariates, we used contingency table for variable selection and multiple logistic regression for independent effect test between exposure and outcome. The strength of association between the variables was expressed as odds ratio, with a 95% confidence interval. The analyses were performed by Epi Info 7.0. ResultsAmong the risk factors associated with hospital malnutrition, hospital stays longer than 15 days, when analyzed alone, nearly tripled the odds of malnutrition. However, in the final model, the variables that remained associated were: persistent change in diet, presence of gastrointestinal symptoms, recent weight loss, weight loss in the last six months, cancer, and age higher than 60 years. ConclusionMalnutrition is recurrent in hospitals, and the factors associated with malnutrition can be identified on admission, allowing adequate monitoring during hospital stay. Therefore, a more effective performance of nutritional screening and monitoring programs is critical. Keywords

“…Also in Spain, an institutionalized women sample has shown an undernourishment prevalence of 7.9% (Ruiz-López et al, 2003). The significant relationship between subjective health and nutritional state (r s =0.212, p≤.01) was also found by Gouveia and Oliveira (2014) whom verified a subjective health evaluation poorer in the undernourished group. In our study, there are no differences in the nutritional score in the individuals that lived and not lived alone, on the contrary of what has been shown at work where undernutrition high risk subjects revealed higher frequency of phone calls and visitants by comparison with the undernourished group (Tsubota-Utsugi et al, 2015).…”

The individual is an active agent on his/her own aging process and decisions about his/her behavioral repertoires determine the capacity for healthy aging. So, an intervention is possible to modify intentional and positively such behaviors. An active lifestyle and healthy diet are factors that contribute to longevity and quality of life of the elderly, because of their impact in active aging. This study aims to assess the impact of individual variables of the elderly in physical activity and nutritional status, and the relationship between them. The sample included 73 participants aged 73.8 ± 6.6, and 71.2% women. The instruments used were the Baecke Questionnaire Modified (QBM) and the Mini Nutritional Assessment Short Form (MNA-SF). While in domestic activities the highest scores were observed in women, sports activities occurred among those not living alone. The overall score showed higher values in younger participants. The subjective health correlated positively with domestic and sports activities. Health perception and marital status were shown to be related with the nutritional status (p≤.05). Participants with normal nutritional status showed, in general, a more positive health perception. There was a positive correlation between nutritional status and household chores. We found positive effects of physical activity in this age group and recommend the need to promote interventions both in this area and in the nutritional status, particularly in certain groups of elderly people.

O presente estudo teve como objetivo avaliar a força de preensão palmar e correlação com o estado nutricional de mulheres idosas. Estudo com abordagem transversal, quantitativo com amostra composta por 60 idosas com idade > 60 anos do sexo feminino, realizado no Centro de Convivência Dos Idosos, localizado em uma cidade do Nordeste Brasileiro. Foram estudadas varáveis para avaliação da composição corporal. O consumo alimentar foi avaliado por meio de Questionário de Frequência Alimentar (QFA) adaptado para idosos. Os dados da Força de Preensão Palmar (FPP) foram avaliados por meio da aplicação de formula. Para diferenças significativas adotou-se p<0,05. A pesquisa recebeu aprovação ética com número de parecer 3.248.005. A idade média da amostra final foi de 67,92±7,77. Houve prevalência de sobrepeso (45%) segundo o IMC. A ingestão calórica esteve acima da recomendação (1907,38±783,07). Entre as participantes com idades entre 60 a 69 anos de idade as médias tanto de FPP-D (26,70 + 2,37) como FPP-ND (25,23 + 1,73) apresentaram-se adequadas, já entre as que possuíam idade a cima de 70 anos a média da FFP-ND (18,93 + 3,55) esteve abaixo do esperado, encontrando-se adequado apenas o valor de FPP-D (20,53 + 3,73). Os resultados obtidos neste estudo sugerem que a força muscular das idosas se mantém preservada, o que influencia no desempenho funcional dessa população. O estado nutricional inadequado com sobrepeso das idosas deste estudo, é resultante do consumo de alimentos com densidade calórica elevada e baixa qualidade de macro e micronutrientes.
