The nutritional status of forty-six self sufficient institutionalized elderly people of Perugia was assessed. The diet of this group is slightly better than that of other groups of elderly people previously examined. As observed in other studies, the diet of the elderly from this region of Italy does not seem to be of the Mediterranean type. The location of subcutaneous fat in elderly men is prevalent in the upper trunk and in women in the arms. The clinical signs of nutritional status among this group of self-sufficient institutionalized elderly people are in general not specific and mostly associated with old age. The pathological conditions observed and the administration of drugs do not appear to substantially influence the nutritional status of this group.
对佩鲁贾46名生活自理的机构养老老年人的营养状况进行了评估。该组老年人的饮食略优于之前检查的其他老年人群体。正如其他研究中所观察到的，来自意大利这个地区的老年人的饮食似乎不属于地中海类型。老年男性皮下脂肪的分布以上躯干为主，而女性则以手臂为主。在这群生活自理的机构养老老年人中，营养状况的临床体征一般不具有特异性，且大多与衰老有关。观察到的病理状况和药物使用似乎并未对该组老年人的营养状况产生实质性影响。
