“…Coexisting diseases and their related indexes such as the CCI and the use of multiple medications (polypharmacy) might be used as the indicators for this purpose (3,7). Polypharmacy may have a negative impact on nutritional status due to drug-food interactions or gastrointestinal complaints (3,7). Our results were consistent with these studies.…”

“…Depending on the study groups' characteristics and the country of the study, reported prevalence of nutritional risk and malnutrition shows significant variation. The combined rates of nutritional risk and malnutrition (based on the MNA scores) range from 14.3% to 82.6% (1,4,5,7,(19)(20)(21)(22). Several factors have been speculated to explain these variations.…”

“…Besides the use of a diverse set of instruments for the evaluation of malnutrition and its risk, there is still a lack of a gold standard for the optimal definition of malnutrition. Nevertheless, the Mini Nutritional Assessment (MNA) has been recommended for its higher efficiency to predict malnutrition in the elderly (6,7).…”

Objectives: To investigate prevalence of malnutrition and nutritional risk, related factors, and the association between nutritional status and quality of life in the elderly. Material and Method: Cross-sectional study. Participants; elderly (≥65 years) patients without severe hearing and vision impairment and dependency on a bed or wheel chair who admitted internal medicine outpatient clinics. Measurements; the mini nutritional assessment questionnaire, Charlson comorbidity index, the World Health Organization quality of life (WHOQOL-OLD) questionnaire. Intervention; none. Results: The study included 532 patients with a mean age of 70.8±5.4 years. The median Mini Nutritional Assessment score was 26, and the total prevalence of nutritional risk and malnutrition was 26.7%. There were significant differences between the nutritional groups regarding the educational, living, and marital status, smoking history, presence of any systemic disease, Charlson Comorbidity Index, and polypharmacy (p

Peningkatan populasi lanjut usia tidak diikuti dengan kualitas hidupnya. Status gizi menjadi salah satu faktor yang mempengaruhi kualitas hidup lansia dan keseluruhan domainnya. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui hubungan status gizi dengan kualitas hidup pada lansia di seluruh dunia. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode systematic literature review dengan sumber data yang digunakan yakni database Pubmed, Science Direct, Garuda, dan PlosOne dengan kriteria: tahun publikasi dari tahun 2017 hingga 2021, artikel open access dengan semua desain penelitian kuantitatif, berbahasa Inggris atau Indonesia, serta membahas tentang status gizi dan kualitas hidup pada lansia berusia ≥ 60 tahun. Penyeleksian studi dilakukan berdasarkan kata kunci dan kriteria yang telah ditetapkan. Hasil ekstraksi dari 156 artikel, diperoleh 13 artikel membahas hubungan status gizi dan kualitas hidup lansia. Status gizi berhubungan dengan kualitas hidup lansia dengan menyebabkan beberapa dampak seperti: peningkatan kesakitan, kelelahan yang berlebihan, lambatnya kecepatan berjalan, menghambat mobilitas dan menyebabkan gangguan tidur. Lemahnya kondisi fisik menyebabkan lansia mudah mengalami depresi dan kesulitan berinteraksi sosial. Selain itu, tingginya biaya perawatan kesehatan juga berkaitan dengan tingkat kemiskinan dan stres finansial pada lansia. Diketahui pula bahwa status gizi kurang menjadi faktor risiko penyebab terjadinya sindrom frailty yang mampu memperburuk kualitas hidup lansia dalam jangka panjang.

Background: Wellbeing of the elderly population in terms of their health and nutritional status are often ignored and unidentified in the community. This study aimed at assessing the nutritional status of the geriatric patients and their quality of life (QOL) attending OPD of Mugda Medical College Hospital. Method: This survey was conducted in the OPD of Mugda Medical College Hospital from June to December 2022 through a cross-sectional analytical method. The study tools were the Mini-Nutritional Assessment tool and WHOQOL-BREF questionnaires which were used to observe the level of nutrition and quality of life among geriatric population respectively. Result: Of all the respondents, about half (46%) were at risk for malnutrition and about 28% were malnourished while 26% respondents’ level of nutrition was normal. About 62% respondents had poor QOL, whereas, 31% had fair QOL and only 7% had good QOL. Also, nutritional status and quality of life of the elderly had significant relationship. Conclusion: The impact of poor nutrition on the quality of life and physical ability of geriatric population is remarkably worthy of attention. The ageing process is challenging and raises public health concerns. Reduction of the observed prevalence of malnutrition and thereby upgrading the quality of life of elderly population should be more focused on and proper attention to this issue is crucial in the community as well as national level.
