“…Based on our results, the prevalence of malnutrition risk in the research sample was 18.9%, which is in line with that which has been reported in the recent literature, where the prevalence of malnutrition risk ranges from 20% to 60% (Allard et al, 2016;Mosselman, Kruitwagen, Schuurmans, & Hafsteinsdóttir, 2013;Slavíková, Procházka, Dlouhý, Anděl, & Rambousková, 2018;Tannen & Lohrmann, 2013), depending on setting and assessment tool used.…”

Aims To describe the associations between dysphagia and malnutrition risk and to identify predictors for dysphagia in a group of persons at risk of malnutrition in hospitals and nursing homes. Design A secondary analysis of cross‐sectional data from the years 2012–2016. Methods The risk of malnutrition was assessed using the Malnutrition Universal Screening Tool for Adults (MUST). The data were compared regarding malnutrition risk and dysphagia. Regression analyses were conducted to identify variables that were associated with the risk of malnutrition and dysphagia. Results Patients (N = 17,580) were included in the study sample. The prevalence of dysphagia was 6.6% and the prevalence of malnutrition risk was 18.9%. A multivariable logistic regression analysis resulted in the identification of dysphagia and cancer as variables with the highest odds ratios with regard to malnutrition risk. Patients with cancer, stroke or respiratory diseases represent a high‐risk group for the co‐occurrence of dysphagia and risk of malnutrition. Conclusions Screening for dysphagia should be carried out on patients at risk of malnutrition as an integral part of their admission to a healthcare institution and especially on the higher risk group of patients with cancer, a stroke or a respiratory disease. Impact What problem did the study address? This study identified the relationship between dysphagia and malnutrition risk and associated factors. What were the main findings? Dysphagia among patients in the research sample was associated with more than two times higher prevalence of the malnutrition risk. Where and on whom will the research have an impact? Thorough malnutrition risk and dysphagia screening lead to better nursing care.

“…In addition, deficiencies in physical functions and cognitive dysfunction also lead to nutritional disorders. In a study conducted on the elderly, it was reported that there was a positive correlation between nutritional status and mental status (9). Psychological, medical, and socioeconomic problems experienced in old ages affect the occurrence of malnutrition.…”

Aim: In this article, it was aimed to determine the cognitive and mental status of elderly people staying in a nursing home and the factors affecting them. Material and Methods: The study was conducted with 75 elderly individuals living in a nursing home. Personal Information Form, Geriatric Depression Scale and Mini Mental Assessment Test and retrospective blood findings of the elderly were used to collect the data. The data were evaluated with SPSS 26.0 programme. Depending on the non-normal distribution of the data; non-parametric tests were used in the evaluation of the data. Kruskal-Wallis and Mann-Whitney U tests were used to compare independent variables. Multiple regression analysis was also used. Results: It was determined that 21.3% of the elderly were moderately depressed and 38.7% had abnormal mini mental assessment. The difference between gender (p=0.023), marital status (p=0.001) and educational level (p=0.001) and the mean total score of MMDT was statistically significant. The difference between the status of having sleep problems (p=0.002) and the mean total score of GDS was statistically significant. The difference between urinary incontinence status (p=0.001) and exercise status (p=0.006) and MMDT total mean scores was statistically significant. Conclusion: Approximately one third of the participants were depressed and had poor cognitive status. Depression was associated with female and low educational status and sleep problems, whereas mental status was associated with gender, marital status, educational status.

A tool to assess nutritional status in older persons was really needed. It took 5 years to design the MNA® (Mini Nutrition Assessment) tool, complete the first validations studies both in Europe and in the U.S. and to publish it. After the full MNA®, the MNA® short form and the self-MNA® have been validated. As well as Chinese and other national MNA® forms. Now more than 2000 clinical research have used the MNA® all over the world from community care to hospital. At least 22 Expert groups included the MNA® in new clinical practice guidelines, national or international registries. The MNA® is presently included in almost all geriatric and nutrition textbook and part of the teaching program for medicine and other health care professional worldwide. The urgent need is to target the frail older adults more likely to have weight loss and poor appetite and to prevent frailty and weight loss in the robust. We present in this paper the review of 30 years of clinical research and practice using the MNA® worldwide.
