摘要

营养在人类的整体健康中起着重要的作用,在老年人中更是如此。住在安老院的长者,其营养状况与与家人同住的长者不同。因此,本研究旨在评估居住在加德满都大都会(KMC)敬老院的老年人的营养状况。使用尼泊尔语翻译的雀巢迷你营养评估工具(MNA),对KMC所有六所养老院的133名老年人进行了描述性横断面研究。进一步收集的信息使用卡方检验进行分析。在营养状况方面,30.8%的参与者营养状况正常,而52.7%的参与者有营养不良的风险,16.5%的参与者营养不良。与生活方式相关的因素,如吸烟和体育锻炼,被发现是影响老年人营养状况的因素。营养状况与年龄(p =0.001)和过去职业(p =0.021)之间存在显著关联。很大一部分住在养老院的老年人面临营养不良的风险或已经营养不良。

Nutritional status and its associated factors of elderly population living in old age homes of Kathmandu Metropolitan City
Nutrition plays an important role in the overall well- being of human beings more so in the elderly. Elderly living at old age homes have a different nutritional status as compared to those living with their families. Thus, this study was conducted to assess the nutritional status of the elderly living in old age homes of Kathmandu Metropolitan City (KMC). A descriptive cross-sectional study was carried among 133 elderly residing in all six old age homes of KMC by using Nepali-translated Nestle’s Mini Nutritional Assessment Tool (MNA). Further collected information was analyzed using chi square test. Regarding nutritional status, 30.8% of the participants had normal nutritional status, whereas 52.7% were at risk of malnutrition and 16.5% were malnourished. Lifestyle related factors such as smoking and physical activity were found to be the factors affecting the nutritional status of elderly people. Significant association was seen between nutritional status and age (p =0.001) and past occupation (p =0.021). A significant proportion of elderly people living in old age homes are at risk of malnutrit ion or are malnourished.
