Summary
Scale for assessment of nutritional status (MNA), Subjective global assessment (SGA) and nutritional risk screening (NRS) are screening and evaluation tools to detect malnutrition and risk of malnutrition. The aim of this study was to determine what is the nutritional status of older people in hospitals. We verified the applicability and sensitivity of these instruments in patients older than 65 years. Testing of measuring instruments, MNA, SGA, and NRS conducted in elderly hospitalized on internal, neurological and surgical inpatient wards of two hospitals in Ostrava. The study included 101 patients (57 women and 44 men, average age 73.2 years). Statistical analysis was performed by SPSS software version 17.0. For testing relationships and dependencies were used the following tests:
– ANOVA test, and
– Pearson’s correlation coefficient.
All tests significantly correlated with body mass index (BMI) of patients. At the same time confirmed a statistically significant relationship between length of stay, and these tests evaluating malnutrition.
MNA test revealed several risk patients or patients at risk of malnutrition (70.3%) than test SGA (31.7%) or NRS (38.7%).
Key words:
patients older than 65 years of age, nutrition, evaluation, Mini Nutritional Assessment (MNA), Subjective Global Assessment (SGA), Nutritional Risk Screening (NRS 2002).
