Abstract

Food insecurity can cause adverse effects on the physical and mental health of the elderly. This study aimed to investigate the association among food insecurity, malnutrition, and cognitive impairment in elderly. To assess malnutrition, cognitive status, and food insecurity, the questionnaires Mini Nutritional Assessment, Mini-Mental State Examination, and the Household Food Insecurity Access Scale were used. There was a significant association between food insecurity and malnutrition (odds ratio [OR] = 5.36; 95% confidence interval [CI], 2.18-13.17; P < .001). The odds of cognitive impairment in the elderly with food insecurity were also more than 4 times higher than those with food security (OR = 4.35; CI, 1.78-10.59; P = .01). Because of the association between food insecurity, malnutrition, and cognitive impairment, food security in the elderly should be considered.

德黑兰 Milad 医院门诊转诊老年人的食物不安全与营养不良和认知状况的关系

食物无保障会对老年人的身心健康造成不利影响。本研究旨在调查食物不安全、营养不良和老年人认知障碍之间的关联。为了评估营养不良、认知状况和食物不安全，研究人员使用了迷你营养评估问卷、迷你精神状态检查问卷和家庭食物不安全访问量表。食物不安全与营养不良之间存在明显关联（几率比 [OR] = 5.36；95% 置信区间 [CI]，2.18-13.17；P < .001）。食物无保障的老人出现认知障碍的几率也比食物有保障的老人高出 4 倍多（OR = 4.35；CI，1.78-10.59；P = .01）。由于食物无保障、营养不良和认知障碍之间存在关联，因此应考虑老年人的食物保障问题。
