OBJECTIVE
The aim of this study was to evaluate the ingestion of micronutrients in elderly living in nursing homes.
METHODS
This is a cross-sectional study, conducted with 216 individuals of both sexes, age equal or greater than 60 years, living in nursing homes for elderly in Salvador, Bahia, Brazil. Direct weighing of the food was used to get food intake, and prevalence of inadequacy was obtained using the software Multiple Source Method (MSM) and evaluated by estimated average requirement (EAR).
RESULTS
A high prevalence of inadequate intake of micronutrients was observed, being over 90% for vitamins E, folate, pyridoxine and calcium, in both sexes and between 50 and 70% for selenium, retinol, riboflavin, cyanocobalamin and vitamin C.
CONCLUSION
The high prevalence of inadequate intake of micronutrients in elderly living on nursing homes observed in this study may be used for planning public health strategies aiming to improve the nutritional context of this population and their quality of life, reducing the costs of health care.
目的
本研究旨在评估养老院老年人的微量营养素摄入情况。
方法
这是一项横断面研究，对巴西巴伊亚州萨尔瓦多市养老院中216名年龄在60岁及以上的男女个体进行了研究。通过直接称量食物来获取食物摄入量，并使用多源方法（MSM）软件获得不足发生率，并通过估计平均需求量（EAR）进行评估。
结果
观察到微量营养素摄入不足的发生率很高，维生素E、叶酸、吡哆醇和钙的摄入不足率超过90%，男女皆是如此，而硒、视黄醇、核黄素、氰钴胺和维生素C的摄入不足率在50%至70%之间。
结论
本研究中观察到养老院老年人微量营养素摄入不足的高发生率，可用于制定公共卫生策略，旨在改善该人群的营养状况及其生活质量，降低医疗保健成本。
