“…Membership of clusters, in terms of food insecurity and nutritional risk, was not impacted by gender, education, self-reported health, BMI, and the presence of metabolic disease. However, the results of other studies confirm the link between food insecurity, malnutrition, and some of these characteristics, including gender [ 27 , 58 , 59 , 60 ], education [ 57 , 60 ], and body mass index [ 60 ]. At the same time, it should be noted that these results mainly come from developing countries such as Brazil, Ecuador, Peru, or Malaysia [ 27 , 57 , 58 , 60 ] and women, people with a lower education status, and those with a lower body mass index, experience both food insecurity and malnutrition.…”

The lack of consistency across the results of this study compared with previous studies on malnutrition and food insecurity can be explained in two ways.…”

“…The lack of asphalt in roads and their precarious conditions in mountainous regions would limit physical activity in older adults, promoting geriatric syndromes [33, 57, 60], cognitive impairment, and, later on, dementia. Also, a high prevalence of malnutrition has been described in older adults living in the Peruvian Andes [59, 61, 62], which would vary depending on rurality and poverty in the study population [63]. Malnutrition is part of the etiology of sarcopenia and frailty [64], affecting physical performance and increasing the risk of dementia and cognitive impairment [65, 66].…”

“…La evaluación del estado nutricional detectó malnutrición y riesgo de malnutrición en casi la tercera parte de los adultos mayores evaluados; si bien es cierto no existe una "prueba de oro" para evaluar el estado nutricional en adultos mayores, el MNA constituye un instrumento aceptado, sensible, específico y precoz (31) . Entre los parámetros laboratoriales medidos, encontramos promedios de hemoglobina y albúmina en rangos normales, pero significativamente más bajos conforme la edad avanza, hallazgos consistentes con el deterioro nutricional encontrado, característica también reportada en estudios previos (32) que resulta de la elevada frecuencia de síndromes y problemas geriátricos que influyen directamente en la nutrición como lo son la mala salud oral, la deprivación sensorial, la depresión y el escaso acceso a comidas saludables y nutritivas. Estos hallazgos confirman la necesidad de abordar el estado nutricional del adulto mayor considerando todos los factores involucrados descritos mediante intervenciones multidisciplinarias para mejorar el estado nutricional de estas personas.…”
