摘要

背景/目的：独居老人更容易营养不良。然而，人们很少关注这一人群的营养不良问题。本研究旨在调查社区独居老年男性的营养不良情况及其相关因素：这项横断面描述性研究使用了韩国社区独居老年人的队列数据。本研究共纳入了 230 名 65 岁及以上的老年男性。营养状况采用迷你营养评估简表进行评估。对多维因素（社会人口、健康相关、社会心理和生活方式特征）进行了评估。进行了层次逻辑回归分析，以确定与营养不良相关的因素：结果：在独居老年男性中，营养不良发生率为 32.2%。低收入（赔率[OR]，2.44；95% 置信区间[CI]，1.01-5.90）、多种药物治疗（OR，2.23；95% CI，1.16-4.28）、自杀倾向（OR，2.13；95% CI，1.02-4.45）、不进餐（OR，3.26；95% CI，1.60-6.64）和吸烟（OR，2.86；95% CI，1.43-5.73）与营养不良显著相关：营养不良是独居老年男性的一个严重健康问题。结论：营养不良是独居老年男性面临的一个严重健康问题。本研究强调了采取全面、有针对性的干预措施以缓解独居老年男性营养不良问题的重要性。

Malnutrition and its associated factors among community-dwelling older men living alone.

Background/objectives: Older men who live alone are more vulnerable to poor nutrition. However, little attention has been paid to malnutrition among this population. This study aimed to examine malnutrition and its associated factors among community-dwelling older men living alone.

Subjects/methods: This cross-sectional descriptive study used cohort data of community-dwelling older adults living alone in South Korea. A total of 230 older men aged 65 and over were included in this study. Nutritional status was assessed using the Mini Nutritional Assessment-Short Form. Multidimensional factors (sociodemographic, health-related, psychosocial, and lifestyle characteristics) were evaluated. Hierarchical logistic regression analyses were conducted to identify the malnutrition-related factors.

Results: The prevalence of malnutrition was 32.2% in older men living alone. Low income (odds ratio [OR], 2.44; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.01-5.90), polypharmacy (OR, 2.23; 95% CI, 1.16-4.28), suicidal ideation (OR, 2.13; 95% CI, 1.02-4.45), meal skipping (OR, 3.26; 95% CI, 1.60-6.64), and smoking (OR, 2.86; 95% CI, 1.43-5.73) were significantly associated with malnutrition.

Conclusion: Malnutrition is a severe health problem in older men living alone. This study highlights the importance of comprehensive and tailored interventions to mitigate malnutrition among older men living alone.
