Resumo
Introdução: Com o aumento do envelhecimento populacional brasileiro se faz necessário maior atenção ao aspecto nutricional que envolve a Terceira Idade, devido à modulação das mudanças fisiológicas relacionadas com a idade, com o desenvolvimento de doenças crônicas não-transmissíveis e com o aumento da demanda por institucionalizações de longa permanência e, principalmente com aqueles idosos já asilados. Objetivo: Analisar a situação nutricional de um grupo de idosos institucionalizados em asilo. Métodos: Estudo transversal, com coleta de dados primários e secundários; realizado em instituição, tipo asilar, do município de Araraquara, São Paulo, Brasil. A pesquisa consistiu de entrevista, com a Mini Avaliação Nutricional (MAN) detalhada, e também de avaliação antropométrica com: peso, altura, índice de massa corpórea, pregas cutâneas (tricipital, bicipital, suprailíaca e subescapular) e medidas das circunferências (braço, muscular do braço, cintura, quadril, relação cintura/quadril e panturrilha). Resultados: Dos 53 entrevistados, 60,4% eram do sexo feminino, com média de idade de 78,3±9,3 anos. Com os dados obtidos pela MAN verificou-se a média de pontuação que os classificam em “risco de desnutrição”, sendo que, com os resultados finais, observou-se que 49% dos idosos entrevistados apresentavam risco de desnutrição e 17% estavam desnutridos. Analisando as questões da MAN separadamente obtiveram-se fatos importantes que podem desencadear a desnutrição, como baixo consumo de alimentos fontes de proteínas, vitaminas e minerais. Pela avaliação antropométrica constatou-se normalidade de peso, altura e IMC, porém notou-se que grande parte se encontra com baixo peso/desnutrição. Quanto às pregas foi visto que a tricipital e a bicipital, em ambos os sexos, e a suprailíaca e subescapular para o sexo masculino,...
Introduction: With the increase of population ageing Brazilian is needed greater attention to the nutritional aspect that involves the seniors, due to the modulation of physiological changes related to age, with the development of non-transmissible chronic diseases and the increased demand by residential of old people’s homes and especially with those elderly already asylum seekers. Objective: To analyze the nutritional status of a group of the elderly institutionalized in asylum. Methods: A cross-sectional study to collect data primary and secondary, carried out in an institution, kind asylum, the municipality of Araraquara, São Paulo, Brazil. The survey consisted of interviews with the Mini Nutritional Assessment (MNA) detail, as well as with anthropometric assessment: weight, height, body mass index, skinfolds thickness (triceps skinfold, biceps skinfold, subscapula skinfold and suprailiac skinfold) and measurements of circumferences (arm circumference, muscle arm circumference, waist circumference, hips circumference, waist/hips and calf circumference). Results: Of the 53 respondents, 60.4% were female and 39.6% of males, mean age from 78.3 ± 9.3 years. With the data obtained by MNA there was the average score of “risk of malnutrition” and that with the final results it was observed that 49% of the elderly interviewed were at risk of malnutrition and 17% were malnourished. Analyzing the issues of MNA separately obtained is important facts that can lead to malnutrition, such as low consumption of food sources of protein, vitamins and minerals. For the anthropometric assessment it was normal weight, height and BMI, but it was noted that much is low weight/malnutrition. As for the skinfolds was seen as the triceps skinfold and biceps skinfold, in both sexes, and subscapula skinfold and suprailiac skinfold, for males,...(Complete abstract, click electronic access below)
