AIM
To determine the risk of malnutrition in both institutionalized and non-institutionalized elderly people of the region of Murcia in Spain.
METHODS
A cross-sectional study was carried out on 465 participants (213 men and 252 women) aged 65 years or older, and representative of the population of the region of Murcia in Spain. The nutritional condition was determined with the Mini Nutritional Assessment screening tool. The following clinical oral health variables were recorded: number of teeth in the mouth, use of removable dentures and hygiene.
RESULTS
The prevalence of malnutrition was 7% in the study population, whereas the risk of malnutrition was 49%. A greater prevalence was recorded in the older and in the institutionalized participants. There were no significant differences in terms of malnutrition or the risk of malnutrition between the participants with or without dentures or between the dentate or edentulous participants.
CONCLUSIONS
Age and institutionalization are parameters to be taken into account for detecting the risk of malnutrition in elderly people.
目的
确定西班牙穆尔西亚地区机构化和非机构化老年人的营养不良风险。
方法
对 465 名年龄在 65 岁及以上的参与者（213 名男性和 252 名女性）进行了横断面研究，这些参与者代表了西班牙穆尔西亚地区的人口。使用 Mini Nutritional Assessment 筛查工具确定营养状况。记录了以下临床口腔健康变量：口腔内的牙齿数量、使用可摘义齿和口腔卫生情况。
结果
研究人群中营养不良的患病率为 7%，而营养不良的风险为 49%。在年龄较大和机构化的参与者中，患病率更高。有或没有义齿的参与者之间，以及有牙或无牙的参与者之间，在营养不良或营养不良风险方面均无显著差异。
结论
年龄和机构化是检测老年人营养不良风险时需要考虑的参数。
