Abstract

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of malnutrition according to the Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition (GLIM) criteria in community-dwelling older adults in Turkey.

Methods: Malnutrition was assessed based on the GLIM criteria, and Mini-Nutritional Assessment-Short Form was used for screening. The severity of malnutrition was determined as severe or moderate based on the phenotypic criteria of GLIM.

Results: Five hundred sixty-nine (69% female, mean age 74.42±6.58 years) community-dwelling older adults participated in this study. The educational statuses of the participants were as follows: 17.2%, illiterate; 13.3%, literate; 35.3%, primary school; 7.0%, secondary school; 11.1%, high school; and 16.2%, university graduates. Among the participants, 16.4% were living alone, whereas 43.9% of them were living with their spouses. The rest were living with their extended families. According to the GLIM criteria, 24.5% (n=139) of the participants had malnutrition, and 13.9% of the total population had severe malnutrition. Age was significantly associated with malnutrition [odds ratio 1.064, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.034-1.096, p<0.0001]. No significant difference was found between genders (p=0.207), education groups (p=0.323), and living status (p=0.434) in terms of malnutrition. However, women had higher malnutrition rates than men (26.0% vs. 21.0%) (risk ratio 0.757, 95% CI 0.494-1.160, p=0.207).

Conclusions: The prevalence of malnutrition was 24.5%, whereas the rate of severe malnutrition was 13.9% in community-dwelling older adults. Women had higher rates of malnutrition, and age was associated with malnutrition. We recommend for researchers and clinicians to integrate the GLIM criteria into their practices to create a common language in malnutrition assessment.

根据土耳其社区居住老年人营养不良标准全球领导倡议的营养不良患病率。

目的:本研究旨在根据全球营养不良领导倡议(GLIM)标准调查土耳其社区居住老年人营养不良的患病率。方法:根据GLIM标准进行营养不良评估，采用mini - nutrition Assessment-Short Form进行筛选。根据GLIM的表型标准确定营养不良的严重程度为严重或中度。结果:569名社区老年人(69%为女性，平均年龄74.42±6.58岁)参与了本研究。参与者的受教育程度如下:17.2%为文盲;13.3%,有文化;小学35.3%;中学学历7.0%;11.1%，高中;16.2%是大学毕业生。在受访者中，16.4%的人独居，而43.9%的人与配偶同住。其余的人与他们的大家庭住在一起。根据GLIM标准，24.5% (n=139)的参与者有营养不良，13.9%的人有严重营养不良。年龄与营养不良显著相关[优势比1.064,95%可信区间(CI) 1.034-1.096, p]结论:社区居住老年人营养不良患病率为24.5%，严重营养不良发生率为13.9%。女性的营养不良率更高，年龄与营养不良有关。我们建议研究人员和临床医生将GLIM标准整合到他们的实践中，以创建营养不良评估的通用语言。
