Resumen
MORENO-BARO, Francisco et al. Evaluation of improved nutritional status in patients over 60 years with 6-month follow-up by a nutritionist in a hospital setting in Almería. The MOR-NUT study. Nutr. Hosp. [online]. 2023, vol.40, n.3, pp.559-566. Epub 23-Oct-2023. ISSN 1699-5198. https://dx.doi.org/10.20960/nh.04278.
Background:
non-institutionalized elderly patients who are prescribed an oral nutritional supplement (ONS) often have difficulties with compliance, which leads to physical deterioration and increases the risk of malnutrition.
Objective:
to assess improvement in the nutritional status of patients over 60 years of age, using the Mini Nutritional Assessment (MNA) score after the intervention of a nutritionist during a 6-month follow-up of malnourished patients with an indication for ONS. To demonstrate that the intervention of a nutritionist provides long-term improvements in the nutritional status of malnourished patients who are taking an ONS.
Results:
the nutritional intervention significantly improved BMI (from 22.9 ± 4.5 to 24.0 ± 4.1; p = 0.001) and the MNA score (from 14.7 ± 4.4 to 20.4 ± 5.8; p < 0.001) of the patients, as well as their perception of health (measured by VAS).
Conclusions:
the nutritional advice provided by a nutritionist to patients who were taking an ONS provided a high rate of adherence to treatment, which resulted in improvement in the nutritional status of patients.
