“…We asked for absolute numbers of participants in nutritional status categories "normal," "at risk of malnutrition," and "malnourished" and the physical frailty categories "robust," "prefrail," and "frail" 19,25,28,32e34,36,38,39,43 and mean age (AEstandard deviation) of the population. 20,24,43 Three authors provided data of more 36 or fewer 38,43 participants than included in the article. In those cases, the numbers provided by the authors were used for the meta-analysis (Table 2) and explicated in the footnotes.…”

“…Despite the general importance of anemia for public health and although Russia is by area the largest, and by population one of the most populous countries worldwide, information about the prevalence of anemia in Russia and factors associated with the occurrence of anemia in Russia has been mostly missing so far. We therefore conducted this study to assess the prevalence of anemia in a population in Russia and to explore its associations with other factors [4, 5].…”

Background Although anemia is one of the leading causes of the global burden of disease, information about its prevalence in Russia is mostly missing. We therefore assessed its prevalence and associated factors in a Russian population. Methods The population-based Ural Eye and Medical Study included 5899 (80.5%) out of 7328 eligible individuals (mean age:59.0 ± 10.7 years;range:40–94 years) who underwent a standardized interview and detailed general examination. The definition of anemia was based on the hemoglobin concentration (definition #1:hemoglobin concentration < 140 g/L in men,< 130 g/L in women; definition #2:hemoglobin concentration < 130 g/L in men,< 120 g/L in women [World Health Organization definition]). Results Higher hemoglobin concentration (mean:142.6 ± 14.8 g/L; range:80-171 g/L) was associated (multivariable analysis) with male gender ( P < 0.001; standardized regression coefficient beta:-0.20), higher waist-hip circumference ratio ( P < 0.001;beta:0.05), higher prevalence of car ownership ( P < 0.001;beta:0.05), higher blood concentrations of bilirubin ( P < 0.001;beta:0.05) and triglycerides ( P < 0.001;beta:0.06), lower erythrocyte sedimentation rate ( P < 0.001;beta:-0.32), and shorter blood clotting time ( P < 0.001;beta:-0.39). Using definition #1 and #2, anemia was detected in 1385 individuals (23.6%;95% confidence interval CI)CI:22.5,24.7) and in 453 individuals (7.7%;95%CI:7.0,8.4), respectively. Prevalence of moderate anemia (hemoglobin concenttration:110 g/L-80 g/L), detected in 165 individuals (2.8%;95%CI:2.4,3.2), increased with younger age ( P = 0.008;odds ratio (OR):0.98;95%CI:0.96,0.99), female gender ( P < 0.001;OR:2.52;95%CI:1.47,4.33), higher erythrocyte sedimentation rate ( P < 0.001;OR:1.08;95%CI:1.06,1.09), longer blood clotting time ( P < 0.001;OR:8.56;95%CI:5.68,12.9), and marginally significantly, with a lower waist-hip circumference ratio ( P = 0.058;OR:0.13;95%CI:0.02,1.07). In women, it was significantly ( P < 0.001) higher before menopause (8.8%;95%CI:6.4,11.1) than after menopause (3.5%;95%CI:2.8,4.3). Conclusions In this Russian population as compared to populations from countries with a similar socio-demographic index, anemia prevalence was relatively low. As in other populations, higher anemia prevalence was strongly and inversely associated with menopause, and to a minor degree, with lower waist-hip circumference ratio and lower socio-economic background.

“…The variation may be due to different screening tools and settings. The prevalence of being at risk of PEM seems to be higher than the prevalence of PEM, which indicates possible potential for preventing of PEM and its consequences [12][13][14][15]26,[36][37][38][39][40][41][42].…”

Background and aim: Protein-energy malnutrition (PEM) in old age has shown to have negative consequences with regard to increased frequency of disease and functional dependency of other people. It is recommended to be aware of unintentional weight loss in old age, as a measure for PEM. The aim of this study was therefore to evaluate the prevalence of unintended weight loss and associated nutrition impact symptoms (NIS) among elderly in a Danish general practice. Design and method: A case-based study of patients aged 70 years or above associated to a general practice in Denmark was conducted. This case study included a questionnaire-based investigation about weight loss, and a qualitative sub-group analysis about NIS, based on a literature search, in patients who claimed unintended weight loss >1 Kg. Results: The study included 234 patients with mean age 76.9 (SD: 5.9). The prevalence of claimed unintentional weight loss was 17.5%. The substudy enrolled 12 patients with unintentional weight loss, mean age: 78.9 years (SD: 6.9). The prevalence of chronic disease among the sub-study population was 91.7%. The feeling of early satiety, lack of appetite and eating alone, were the most prevalent NIS with 58.3% each, followed by polypharmacy (41.7%). Moreover, being alone and eating alone were the most frequently mentioned NIS. Conclusion:The prevalence of unintended weight loss was 17.5%. Of the NIS studied, early satiety, lack of appetite, eating alone and polypharmacy were the most frequent. Preventing unintentional weight loss and thus PEM and its unwanted health related consequences may be achieved through increased focus on selected nutritional impact symptoms.
