Abstract

Background: The Mini Nutritional Assessment (MNA) is a validated questionnaire that estimates nutritional status. Given that this questionnaire uses stature measurement, which are unreliable in older adults, Mindex and Demiquet are alternatives to BMI for assessing malnutrition risk. However, the correlation of Mindex and Demiquet values with MNA scores has not been investigated.

Objectives: This cross-sectional study examined the correlation of Mindex and Demiquet with nutritional status and blood parameters in older adults in Thailand.

Methods: The correlation of Mindex and Demiquet with MNA scores and body mass index (BMI), as well as blood parameters, was evaluated. Sociodemographic characteristics, anthropometric measurements, and blood test results were collected from 347 participants aged 60 years and older (mean ± SD, 66.4 ± 5.3 years). Spearman's rank correlation coefficient and multiple logistic regression analyses were used in statistical analyses.

Results: MNA scores were significantly correlated with Mindex (P < 0.001) and Demiquet (P = 0.001), and BMI was related to Mindex and Demiquet (P < 0.001). Low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) predicted MNA scores (P = 0.048) in males but not females.

Conclusions: Mindex and Demiquet values were positively correlated with MNA scores and BMI. In addition, LDL-C predicted MNA scores in male older adults.

使用Mindex和Demiquet评估老年人的营养状况。

背景：迷你营养评估（MNA）是一种评估营养状况的有效问卷。考虑到该问卷使用的身高测量在老年人中是不可靠的，Mindex和Demiquet是评估营养不良风险的BMI的替代品。然而，Mindex和Demiquet值与MNA评分的相关性尚未被研究。目的：本横断面研究检查了Mindex和Demiquet与泰国老年人营养状况和血液参数的相关性。方法：评价Mindex和Demiquet与MNA评分、体重指数（BMI）及血液指标的相关性。收集了347名年龄在60岁及以上的参与者（平均±SD， 66.4±5.3岁）的社会人口学特征、人体测量值和血液检测结果。统计学分析采用Spearman秩相关系数和多元logistic回归分析。结果：MNA评分与Mindex （P < 0.001）、Demiquet （P = 0.001）显著相关，BMI与Mindex、Demiquet相关（P < 0.001）。低密度脂蛋白胆固醇（LDL-C）预测男性的MNA评分（P = 0.048），而女性则不然。结论：Mindex和Demiquet值与MNA评分和BMI呈正相关。此外，LDL-C可以预测老年男性的MNA评分。
