RESUMO
Objective: To evaluate the nutritional status of gastrointestinal carcinoma patients by mini-nutritional assessment(MNA),and to compare the relationship with different tranditional evaluative methods. Methods: The nutritional state and the malnutritional incidence were analysed by MNA questionnaire in 496 gastrointestinal carcinoma patients,and the relationship among MNA score and anthropometric measurements and laboratory test was studied.Results: ①According to the scores of MNA, 16.94%(84/496) patients were of mal-nutrition and 42.54%(211/496) patients were at risk of malnutrition.② In terms of each single index,BMI,TSF,AC and AMC,the prevalence of malnutrition was 13.5%,21.9%,15.1% and 15.5% respectively.③According to laboratory test,including serum albumin,PA,TLC,the incidence of malnutrition was 14.9%,25.4% and 30.8%.④ There was a significant correlation between the MNA score and tranditional nutritional estimated markers.The correlation coefficients of MNA with BMI,ALB,AC,TSF,AMC and TLC were between 0.18 and 0.53(P
RESUMO
Objectives:To assess the nutritional status of retired residents in a community by mininutritional assessment(MNA) combined with anthropometry. Methods:MNA questionnaire and anthropometric parameters including waistline,hipline,height,weight,body mass index(BMI),midarm circumference,triceps skinfold(TSF) and midarm muscle circumference were performed in 115 retired residents. Results:①24 (20.9%) residents had MNA scores less than 23.5,which meaned malnutrition or at risk of malnutrition.②According to each single index,namely waistline, waist hip ratio and BMI,incidence of obesity was 53.9%,61.7% and 65.2% respectively.③According to each single index,that is,midarm circumference,TSF and midarm muscle circumference,prevalence of moderate or severe malnutrition was 1.7%,19.1% and 2.2%respectively.④There lied a significant correlation between MNA score and several anthropometric parameters. Conclusions:①Both overnutrition and undernutrition can be manifested in retired home residents,for whom nutritional intervene should be enhanced.②MNA questionnaire can be well used in Chinese.
