摘要
目的:对生活在低收入地区的自由生活和非机构生活的尼日利亚老年男女的营养摄入和营养状况进行评估。设计、环境和参与者:该研究是横断面研究,在尼日利亚西南部四个低收入城市和农村地区随机选择140名(58-99岁)明显健康的老年人。测量方法:通过结构化问卷获得社会经济特征和膳食摄入量(24小时回忆)数据,同时测量人体测量数据,并根据世卫组织标准对营养状况指数进行分类。营养摄入数据与DRI进行比较,其他数据使用Statistical Package for Social Sciences version 16.0进行分析。结果:绝大多数(84.3%)的受访者已婚,文盲(80%)。最受欢迎的职业是农业(47%)和贸易(35.7%)。一半的受访者每月收入≤NGN1 000(≤6美元),只有27%的受访者每月收入≥ngn6 000(37美元)。男性平均体重59.7±6.50kg、身高1.61±10.564m、臂围27.5±9.24 cm,女性平均体重56.3±5.72 kg、身高1.57±4.37m、臂围27.0±5.22cm。女性的平均每日能量(1805.2Kcal)和蛋白质(23g)摄入量显著低于男性(2044Kcal和27.7g) (p<0.05)。男性和女性的蛋白质、钙、核黄素、烟酸和维生素C的摄入量都低于DRI,而铁、磷、硫胺素和能量的摄入量则足够。在这项研究中,体重不足的患病率很低(2.9%),而超重(肥胖前期)的患病率很高(男性为20%,女性为22.8%)。男性能量摄入对体重和BMI有显著影响(r=0.439, p=0.008);(r=0.352,p=0.038)而女性没有(r=0.229,p=0.186;R =0.320,p=0.06),而男性和女性的臂围分别受到蛋白质摄入量的显著影响(R =0.333,p=0.04和R =0.404,p=0.02)。结论:本研究确定了老年人蛋白质和一些微量营养素摄入量不足,超重和体重不足并存的高发人群。尼日利亚需要一项功能性的老年人护理政策,以改善老年人的营养、健康和总体福祉。
NUTRIENT INTAKE AND NUTRITIONAL STATUS OF THE AGED IN LOW INCOME AREAS OF SOUTHWEST, NIGERIA
Objective: The study was carried out to assess the nutrient intake and nutritional status of free living and non-institutionalized elderly Nigerian men and women residing in low income areas. Design, Setting and Participants: The study was cross sectional involving 140 (58-99 years) apparently healthy elderly subjects randomly selected across four low income urban and rural areas of southwest Nigeria. Measurements: Data on socio economic characteristics and dietary intake (24-hour recall) were obtained with a structured questionnaire while anthropometric data were measured and nutritional status indices were classified using WHO standards. Nutrient intake data was compared to DRI while other data were analyzed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences version 16.0. Results: Majority (84.3%) of the respondents were married and illiterate (80%). Most popular occupation were farming (47%) and trading (35.7%). Half of the respondents earn ≤ NGN1, 000 (≤US$6) and only 27% earn ≥ N6000 (US$37) monthly. The mean weight, height and arm circumference for men were 59.7 ± 6.50kg, 1.61±10.564m and 27.5 ± 9.24 cm respectively while that for women were 56.3 ± 5.72 kg, 1.57 ± 4.37m and 27.0 ± 5.22cm respectively. The mean daily energy (1805.2Kcal) and protein (23g) intake of women were significantly (p<0.05) lower than that of men (2044Kcal and 27.7g respectively). Intake of protein, calcium, riboflavin, niacin and vitamin C for both men and women were below DRI while iron, phosphorus, thiamine and energy intakes were adequate. Prevalence of underweight was low (2.9%) in this study while that overweight (pre obesity) was high (20% for men and 22.8% for women). Weight and BMI are significantly influenced by energy intake of the men (r=0.439, p=0.008); (r=0.352,p=0.038) and not women (r=0.229,p=0.186; r=0.320,p=0.06 respectively) while arm circumference was significantly (p<0.05) influenced by protein intake of both men and women (r=0.333,p=0.04 and r=0.404,p=0.02) respectively. Conclusion: This study has established a less than adequate intake of protein and some micronutrients among the elderly population as well as a high prevalence of overweight which coexists with underweight. There is need for a functional policy on the care of the aged in Nigeria in order to improve their nutrition, health and general wellbeing.
