“…Moreover, there was a significant positive association between MUAC and BMI. 30 The research was supported by the results of other studies stating that MUAC has a positive correlation with BMI. 31 In this study, muscle mass in group I compare to group II was not different (p = 0.097).…”

Background: Body mass index (BMI) determined by genetic and environmental factors. One of the genetic factors that determine the BMI is a genetic polymorphism of sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG), whereas the intake of nutrients is one of the environmental factors. The objective: investigate to macronutrient intake of mother in childbearing age with BMI <18.5 kg/m2 and has heterozygous variant D327N SHBG genotype (W/v).Methods: Anthropometric measurement, genotyping of D327N SHBG gen exon 8, and three days repeated food recall and record was done for all subjects. BMI in the group I 16 to <17 kg/m2 and group II 17 to <18.5 kg/m2. For all subjects in both groups has heterozygous variant D327N SHBG genotype (W/v).Results: mother in chieldbearing age with BMI <18.5 kg/m2 and has heterozygous variant SHBG genotype (W/v) is undernutrition. Seventy two percent of the total subjects including type I of chronic energy deficiency (CED), and 28% as type II of CED. Protein, fat and carbohydrate intake and mid-upper arm circumference (MUAC) in the group I was lower than group II (p<0.05), while muscle mass in the group I did not different compare to group II (p>0.097).Conclusions: Mother in childbearing age with BMI <18.5 kg/m2 and has heterozygous variant D327N SHBG genotypes (W/v) shows that the lower of protein, fat and carbohydrate intake then CED status is getting low.

“…23 Several studies have shown a strong association between a MUAC < 23 cm and a BMI of < 18.5. [24][25][26][27] In this study BMI (< 18.5) and MUAC (< 23 cm) were used to determine malnutrition prevalence and MUST to determine malnutrition risk prevalence. Demi-span or ulna length was used to determine height for non-ambulatory patients, using validated formulae.…”

The aim of this study was to describe the prevalence of malnutrition among adult hospitalised patients in three South African public hospitals and to determine the availability of nutrition-related quality indicators at ward and institutional level. Method: A descriptive, cross-sectional, multi-centre study was used to determine the prevalence of malnutrition, whilst a descriptive exploratory design was used to determine the use of nutrition-related quality indicators for the identification and treatment of malnutrition. A total of 141 adult hospitalised patients in three public hospitals in an urban setting participated. Mid-upper arm circumference (MUAC), body mass index (BMI), and malnutrition universal screening tool (MUST) were used to determine the prevalence of malnutrition or malnutrition risk. A Hospital Nutrition Review Tool (HNRT) determined the use of nutrition-related quality indicators. Results: The overall malnutrition risk according to MUST was 72.3% (48.2% high risk and 24.1% medium risk), whilst 45.4% were malnourished based on MUAC. No routine nutritional screening was conducted in any of the wards to identify patients at nutritional risk. The majority of nurses reported inadequate training or knowledge to calculate patients' BMI or percentage weight loss, or to perform nutritional screening. Conclusion: Both malnutrition prevalence and malnutrition risk among adult hospitalised patients are high in the public sector. Inadequate resources may lead to delays in malnutrition identification and appropriate nutritional intervention, which may adversely affect both the patient and the institution. This study contributes to baseline data on adult malnutrition in the South African public hospital setting.
