Resumo: Aims: To evaluate the nutritional state of aged institutionalized in an elderly nursing home of Rio Grande, a port city in the state of Rio Grande do Sul, in the Southern Region of Brazil. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted with elderly 60 years or more, resident in a philanthropic and private institution. For assessing the nutritional status of the elderly we used the Mini Nutritional Assessment. For analysis we used descriptive statistics (mean, standard deviation and percentage) and Student t test to compare data between the sexes. We considered the value of p less than 0.05 as statistically significant. Results: Twenty eight elderly people were evaluated, from whom 57.1% were women. The average age was 78.5±9.3 years for women and was 77±8.5 years for men (no significant difference). The mean weight and body mass index did not differ between the sexes. The highest average height (1.62±0.07 m) was found in the male group (p less than 0.05). Malnutrition was identified in 10.7% of the elderly, 25% had malnutrition risk, and 64.3% were eutrophic, without significant difference between the sexes. Of the women studied, 7.14% had normal weight by the Mini Nutritional Assessment, but were underweight by the body mass index. Conclusions: The study revealed that there was a low prevalence of undernourished elderly, as well as at risk of malnutrition, in the population studied. However, the Mini Nutritional Assessment do not allow to evaluate bedridden or mentally impaired elderly. Other methods of monitoring nutritional status must be used in elderly homes, with efficient and easy to perform tools, which assess not only the deficit but also the excess weight in this age group.

Métodos: foi realizado um estudo transversal com idosos de 60 anos ou mais, residentes em uma instituição filantrópica e privada. Para a avaliação do estado nutricional dos idosos utilizou-se a Miniavaliação Nutricional. Para análise foi usada estatística descritiva (média, desvio padrão e percentuais) e teste t de Student para comparar dados entre os sexos. Considerou-se o valor de p menor que 0,05 como estatisticamente significante. Resultados: foram avaliados 28 idosos, dos quais 57,1% eram mulheres. A média de idade nas mulheres foi de 78,5±9,3 e nos homens de 77±8,5 anos (diferença não significativa). A média de peso e o índice de massa corporal também não apresentaram diferença entre os sexos. A maior média de altura (1,62±0,07m) foi encontrada no grupo masculino (p menor do que 0,05). Através da Miniavaliação Nutricional, identificou-se 10,7% dos idosos desnutridos, 25% em risco de desnutrir e 64,3% eutróficos, não havendo diferença significativa entre os sexos. Das mulheres avaliadas, 7,14% apresentavam eutrofia pela Miniavaliação Nutricional, porém pelo índice de massa corporal estavam com baixo peso. Conclusões: o estudo revelou que houve uma baixa prevalência de idosos desnutridos e em risco de desnutrir na população estudada. Entretanto, a Miniavaliação Nutricional não possibilita avaliar pacientes acamados ou mentalmente comprometidos. Devem ser utilizados outros métodos de acompanhamento do estado nutricional em instituições geriátricas, com instrumentos eficientes, de fácil execução e que permitam avaliar não somente o déficit, mas também o excesso de peso nessa faixa etária.Editora da PUCRS - ediPUCRS2011-06-29info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfapplication/pdfhttps://revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br/scientiamedica/article/view/6909Scientia Medica; Vol. 21 No. 2 (2011); 59-63Scientia Medica; v. 21 n. 2 (2011); 59-631980-61081806-5562reponame:Scientia Medica (Porto Alegre.
