Abstract

Objective: In this study, we aimed to determine the prevalence of malnutrition and its associated risk factors among patients undergoing hemodialysis in a tertiary hospital in Mauritius.

Methods: We enrolled 250 participants in this cross-sectional single-center study. A modified Malnutrition-Inflammation Score (MIS) questionnaire was used. We collected and analyzed data pertaining to patients' medical and hemodialysis details.

Results: Among the 250 enrolled participants, 136 (54.4%) were male patients. Participants had been undergoing hemodialysis for a mean duration of 5.67 ± 4.66 years. Malnutrition was present in 108 (43.2%) participants, and 176 patients (70.4%) had diabetes mellitus, which was found to be a significant predictor of malnutrition. There was a significant correlation between malnutrition and the number of years a participant had been under hemodialysis, as well as female sex. A significant variation in MIS values was found among different age groups. Participants with malnutrition had lower body mass index and hyponatremia.

Conclusions: Malnutrition is an important issue, particularly among women, patients who have been on hemodialysis for an extended period, those with older age, and patients with diabetes mellitus.

毛里求斯一家三级医院接受血液透析的病人营养不良的流行情况和危险因素。

目的：在本研究中，我们旨在确定毛里求斯一家三级医院接受血液透析的患者中营养不良的患病率及其相关危险因素。方法：我们在这项横断面单中心研究中招募了250名参与者。采用改良的营养不良-炎症评分（MIS）问卷。我们收集并分析了有关患者医疗和血液透析细节的数据。结果：在250名入组参与者中，136名（54.4%）为男性患者。参与者接受血液透析的平均时间为5.67±4.66年。108名（43.2%）参与者存在营养不良，176名（70.4%）患者患有糖尿病，这是营养不良的重要预测因素。营养不良与参与者接受血液透析的年数以及女性性别之间存在显著的相关性。不同年龄组的MIS值存在显著差异。营养不良的参与者有较低的体重指数和低钠血症。结论：营养不良是一个重要的问题，特别是在妇女、长期进行血液透析的患者、老年人和糖尿病患者中。
