Abstract

Undernutrition in elders remains under-detected, under-treated, and under-resourced and leads to further weight loss, increased infections, and delay in recovery from illness as well as increased hospital admissions and length of stay. The reports of the findings were fragmented and inconsistent in Ethiopia. Therefore, the main objective of this meta-analysis was to estimate the pooled prevalence of undernutrition and its association with dietary diversity among older persons in Ethiopia. Online databases (Medline, PubMed, Scopus, and Science Direct), Google, Google Scholar, and other grey literature were used to search articles until the date of publication. The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guideline was followed. The random effect model was used to estimate the pooled prevalence; whereas subgroup analysis and meta-regression were performed to identify the probable source of heterogeneity using Stata version 14.0 software. Out of 522 studies accessed, 14 met our criteria and were included in the study. A total of 7218 older people (aged above 60 years old) were included in the study. The pooled proportion of undernutrition among older persons in Ethiopia was 20⋅6 % (95 % CI 17⋅3, 23⋅8). Elders who consumed low dietary diversity scores were strongly associated with undernutrition among older persons. Therefore, promoting appropriate intervention strategies for elders to improve dietary diversity practices and nutritional status is crucial.

埃塞俄比亚老年人营养不良程度及其与饮食多样性的关系:一项系统综述和荟萃分析,2023年。
老年人的营养不足仍然被发现不足、治疗不足和资源不足,并导致体重进一步减轻、感染增加、疾病恢复延迟以及住院人数和住院时间增加。埃塞俄比亚的调查结果报告支离破碎,前后矛盾。因此,这项荟萃分析的主要目的是估计埃塞俄比亚老年人营养不良的综合患病率及其与饮食多样性的关系。在线数据库(Medline、PubMed、Scopus和Science Direct)、谷歌、谷歌学者和其他灰色文献被用于搜索文章,直到发表之日。遵循系统评价和荟萃分析的首选报告项目指南。随机效应模型用于估计合并患病率;而使用Stata 14.0版软件进行亚组分析和元回归以确定异质性的可能来源。在522项研究中,有14项符合我们的标准并被纳入研究。共有7218名老年人(60岁以上)参与了这项研究。埃塞俄比亚老年人营养不良的总比例为20∙6%(95%CI 17∙3,23∙8)。饮食多样性得分低的老年人与老年人营养不良密切相关。因此,为老年人推广适当的干预策略,以改善饮食多样性做法和营养状况至关重要。
