Influence of nutritional status on health-related quality of life of non-institutionalized older people

Abstract: Women showed poorer HRQoL and higher malnutrition risk. A relationship between HRQoL and risk of malnutrition was observed. Results suggest that when energy and protein, lipid, phosphorus, magnesium, selenium and niacin intake increase, HRQoL is promoted, although the increase does not seem to have a strong direct effect on it. The limited influence of energy and nutrient intake on HRQoL observed requires further research.

“…Similar results were obtained in our study; the EQ5D index score and the EQ5D VAS score, which are the quality of life scores, were found to decrease with increasing malnutrition. The results obtained in our study were also similar to those of Jiménez-Redondo et al 52 .…”

“…The findings of this study that the risk of undernutrition has an independent association with poor HRQoL are in line with the results of other studies (17,18,22,42). The correlation of undernutrition with HRQoL in elderly can be direct, as lower energy intake may influence subjective perception of wellbeing, or it could be indirect, by decreasing functional ability.…”

“…Malnutrition is also associated with an increased risk of respiratory and cardiac problems, infections, deep venous thrombosis pressure ulcers, delayed wound healing, peri-operative mortality, multi-organ failure and immune dysfunction [2]. Moreover, a worsening of clinical outcomes in malnourished patients has been shown to be associated with a deterioration in quality of life (QoL) [3, 4] and longer hospital stays (LOS) [5, 6]. …”
