This study aims to determine if there are any connections between living alone and suffering from malnutrition or having a risk of being malnourished, in people over 79years old in a Mediterranean population.
A questionnaire was used in a cross-sectional and multicentre study conducted between June and December 2014 in three Primary Care Centres (PCC).
A quota was chosen for each centre, including all patients over 79years, with a total of 167 people.
Was performed using SPSS. A first descriptive part was performed by calculating Chi squared and Student-t tests, and a second part in which logistic regression was used to determine if living was only related to the Mini Nutritional Assessment (MNA) adjusted to age.
The scores of the nutritional study by MNA showed no differences between the groups according to the family unit as a differentiating factor. On the other hand, age does seem to be a determining factor.
Patients over 79years old and who live alone are nearly always independent for daily life activities, and often have a better state of physical and mental health. These factors could explain their better nutritional status, as living alone is not associated with states of malnutrition or having the risk of suffer from it.
本研究旨在确定在地中海地区79岁以上人群中，独居与营养不良或存在营养不良风险之间是否存在任何关联。
2014年6月至12月期间，在三个初级保健中心（PCC）进行了一项横断面多中心研究，采用问卷调查。
为每个中心设定了配额，纳入所有79岁以上的患者，共167人。
使用SPSS进行。第一部分为描述性分析，通过计算卡方检验和学生t检验进行；第二部分使用逻辑回归来确定生活状况是否仅与根据年龄调整后的简易营养评估（MNA）相关。
以家庭单位作为区分因素，MNA营养研究的得分在各群组之间未显示出差异。另一方面，年龄似乎是一个决定性因素。
79岁以上且独居的患者在日常生活活动方面几乎总是独立的，并且通常具有更好的身心健康状态。这些因素可以解释他们较好的营养状况，因为独居与营养不良状态或患营养不良的风险无关。
