Factors associated with deterioration of mini nutritional assessment-short form status of nursing home residents during a 2-year period.
Journal of Nutrition, Health & Aging 2014 April
OBJECTIVE: A number of other studies have been conducted to verify the Mini Nutritional Assessment (MNA) or the MNA short form (MNA-SF) as a nutritional assessment/screening tool in various clinical settings or communities. However, there are few longitudinal studies using these tools to analyze which factors affect the incidence of deteriorating nutritional status. We tried to identify the factors associated with deterioration of MNA-SF status of nursing home residents during a 2-year period.
METHODS: Participants were 392 people with a mean age of 84.3 in 12 nursing homes in Japan. The factors associated with deterioration in MNA-SF categories during the study period compared to stable/improved MNA-SF categories were identified.
RESULTS: At baseline, 19.9% of the participants were malnourished and 60.2% were at risk of malnutrition, according to the MNA-SF classification. After 2 years, 66.3% participants maintained and 6.1% participants improved their nutritional status according to the MNA-SF classification, while 27.6% showed deterioration in MNA-SF status. Stepwise logistic-regression procedure indicated that basic ADL impairment and hospitalization during the follow-up period were associated with declining MNA-SF status.
CONCLUSIONS: Poor basic ADL status and hospitalization during the follow-up period were associated with malnutrition and risk of malnutrition as assessed by MNA-SF of nursing homes residents during a 2-year period.
