Population ageing is a main concern under the biosanitary point of view.
To assess the nutritional status of people 65 year-old and older in Cantabria (Spain)
A total of 1605 persons were studied by means of the MNA (Mini Nutritional Assessment); a) by primary care (59.9% in the unit, and 4.7% at home) and, b) in nursing homes (35.4%).
Nutritional score (NS) was 23.4 ± 4.1 for women and 24.4 ± 4 in males (p < 0.001). We emphasize the fact that 22.3% of people studied in the nursing homes were malnourished or at risk of malnutrition, compared with 14.2% of those studied at the unit, and only 3.3% of the home visited elders. The correlation between the value of the NS and the subjective estimation of nutrition status showed a high value (0.65). We emphasize the negative correlation (-0.53) between BNI value and the incidence of skin lesions.
Our results highlight the importance of identifying malnutrition or its risk in elders in order to prevent the negative consequences of this deficiency.
从生物卫生角度来看，人口老龄化是一个主要问题。
评估西班牙坎塔布里亚地区65岁及以上人群的营养状况。
通过微型营养评定法（MNA）对1605人进行研究；a）在初级保健机构（在机构内占59.9%，在家中占4.7%），以及b）在养老院（占35.4%）。
女性的营养评分（NS）为23.4±4.1，男性为24.4±4（p<0.001）。我们强调这样一个事实，即在养老院接受研究的人群中，22.3%存在营养不良或有营养不良风险，相比之下，在机构内接受研究的人群中这一比例为14.2%，而在家中接受探访的老年人中这一比例仅为3.3%。NS值与营养状况主观评估之间的相关性显示出较高数值（0.65）。我们强调身体质量指数（BMI）值与皮肤病变发生率之间存在负相关（-0.53）。
我们的研究结果凸显了识别老年人营养不良或其风险的重要性，以便预防这种营养缺乏带来的负面后果。
