ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
It was aimed to evaluate the nutritional status of geriatric stroke patients admitted to a convalescent and rehabilitation hospital and the clinical usefulness of the mini-nutritional assessment (MNA) to identify malnutrition in elderly stroke patients.METHOD:
We performed a nutritional evaluation using the MNA questionnaire, anthropometric, haematological, and biochemical parameters in 30 stroke patients. Malnutrition was defined if there were abnormalities in at least one of the following parameters serum values of albumin and transferrin, hemoglobin and total lymphocytes in blood, and body mass index. The sensitivity, specificity, and predictive values of MNA for malnutrition were assessed.RESULTS:
The mean age of patients was 69.5 years and mean body mass index was 22.8 kg/m2. The prevalence of malnutrition was 46.7% while malnutrition or risk of malnutrition by MNA was 80%. The sensitivity, specificity, and positive/negative predictive values of MNA for malnutrition were respectively 92.9%, 31.3%, 54.2%, and 83.3% with a cutoff point lower than 23.5. There was a significant difference of hemoglobin value between malnourished and nourished group (p<0.05).CONCLUSION:
Malnutrition was common in geriatric stroke patients. MNA was a useful screening tool to exclude nourished geriatric patients.
