摘要

引言:老年人口的增长速度要快得多。老龄化是一种全球性现象,预计到2050年,世界上每个国家60岁及以上的人口都将大幅增加。营养不良在60岁以上的老年人中很常见。与正常营养的人相比,他们可能会出现发病率、过早死亡、生活质量差和功能能力下降的情况。营养不良增加了医疗保健成本,降低了生产力,减缓了经济增长,这可能会使贫困和健康不良的循环持续下去。因此,消除一切形式的营养不良是全球健康面临的最大挑战之一。目的:1)了解海得拉巴市老年人群的营养状况。2) 评估老年人营养不良的危险因素。方法:2021年7月至9月,对居住在海得拉巴城市贫民窟的60岁及以上老年人进行了一项横断面研究。考虑到老年人口营养不良的估计患病率为14.5%,样本量计算为198,四舍五入为200。将数据输入到Microsoft Excel中,并使用Epi Info版本7.2.2.6进行分析。使用预先设计、预先测试的问卷来收集数据。使用迷你营养评估(MNA)对营养不良进行评估。结果:在200名参与者中,女性占52.5%。研究人群的平均年龄为68.3岁。其中,18%的研究参与者营养不良,27%有营养不良风险,55%营养状况正常。结论:早期诊断和及时治疗营养不良高危老年人,可改善其营养状况和预后。

A Cross Sectional Study on Nutritional Status and Risk Factors Associated With Malnutrition among Elderly Population in Hyderabad
Introduction: The elderly population is growing much faster. Ageing is a global phenomenon and it is expected that by 2050 every country in the world will have substantial increase in population aged 60 years and above. Malnutrition is common among older people over 60 years of age. They are likely to experience morbidity, premature mortality, poor quality of life and reduced functional ability than normally nourished persons. Malnutrition increases health care costs, reduces productivity, and slows economic growth, which can perpetuate a cycle of poverty and ill-health. Hence combating malnutrition in all its forms is one of the greatest global health challenges. Objective: 1) To assess the nutritional status among elderly population in Hyderabad. 2) To assess the risk factors which are associated with malnutrition among elderly population. Method: A Cross sectional study was conducted in July - September 2021 among elderly persons aged 60 years and above residing in urban slums of Hyderabad. Considering the estimated prevalence of malnutrition among elderly population to be 14.5%, the sample size was calculated as 198 and was rounded off to 200. Data was entered into Microsoft Excel and analysed using Epi Info version 7.2.2.6. A predesigned, pre-tested questionnaire was used to collect data. Malnutrition was assessed using Mini Nutritional Assessment (MNA). Results: Among 200 participants, 52.5% were females. The mean age of the study population was 68.3 years. Among them 18% of the study participants were malnourished, 27% were at risk of malnutrition and 55% had normal nutritional status. Conclusion: Early diagnosis and prompt treatment of elderly people at high risk for malnutrition may improve their nutritional status and prognosis.
