Resumo: Background and Objectives: Malnutrition is frequent in hospitalized older adults, favoring nutritional deficiencies, such as anemia. Several studies have associated anemia with reduced performance in daily activities, which may increase morbidity and mortality. This study aimed to assess the relation between anemia and older adults’ nutritional status. Methods: This is a cross-sectional study with hospitalized older adults. Anemia was investigated via hemoglobin. The chosen outcome variables were anemia and hemoglobin and the exposure variables gender, age group, skin color, marital status, education, and nutritional status. Variables were described in absolute and relative frequencies. For statistical analysis, the Chi-square and ANOVA tests were used. Results: Overall, we evaluated 272 hospitalized older adults and fund a 65.1% prevalence of anemia. We associated anemia with age group, malnutrition, and decreased muscle mass. Hemoglobin levels decreased as participants’ nutritional status worsened, with malnutrition showing the lowest average. Conclusion: Anemia was associated with nutritional status by the evaluated instruments and we observed a reduction in hemoglobin levels as volunteers’ nutritional status worsened. Therefore, research must understand the factors associated with anemia, and healthcare providers should investigate anemic older adults’ clinical history anemic to search for its basic cause.

Varios estudios han asociado la anemia a un rendimiento reducido en las actividades diarias, lo que predispone a un aumento de la morbilidad y la mortalidad. Este estudio tuvo como objetivo evaluar la relación entre anemia y estado nutricional de los adultos mayores hospitalizados. Métodos: Estudio transversal con adultos mayores hospitalizados. La anemia se investigó a través de la hemoglobina. Las variables de resultado fueron la anemia y la hemoglobina; y las variables de exposición fueron sexo, grupo de edad, color de piel, estado civil, educación y estado nutricional. Las variables se describieron en frecuencias absolutas y relativas. Para el análisis estadístico se utilizaron las pruebas de Chi-cuadrado y ANOVA. Resultados: Se evaluaron a 272 adultos mayores hospitalizados, en los cuales la prevalencia de anemia fue del 65,1%. Se encontró que la anemia estaba asociada al grupo de edad, la desnutrición y la disminución de la masa muscular. Los niveles de hemoglobina disminuyeron a medida que empeoraba el estado nutricional, con un promedio más bajo en los desnutridos. Conclusión: La anemia se asoció al estado nutricional en los instrumentos evaluados, se observó también una reducción en los niveles de hemoglobina a medida que empeoraba el estado nutricional. Por tanto, es necesario conocer los factores asociados a la anemia, y los profesionales de la salud necesitan investigar la historia clínica del adulto mayor anémico en busca de su causa básica.Justificativa e Objetivos: A desnutrição é frequente em idosos hospitalizados, favorecendo deficiências nutricionais, como a anemia. Diversos estudos associaram a anemia com a redução do desempenho nas atividades diárias, podendo aumentar a morbidade e mortalidade. Este estudo objetivou avaliar a relação entre anemia e estado nutricional de idosos hospitalizados. Métodos: Estudo transversal com idosos hospitalizados. A anemia foi investigada através da hemoglobina. As variáveis desfecho foram a anemia e a hemoglobina; e as variáveis de exposição foram: gênero, faixa etária, cor da pele, situação conjugal, escolaridade e estado nutricional. As variáveis foram descritas em frequência absoluta e relativa. Para análise estatística, utilizou-se os Testes Qui-quadrado e Anova. Resultados: Foram avaliados 272 idosos hospitalizados, nos quais a prevalência de anemia foi de 65,1%. Verificou-se associação dessa condição com a faixa etária, desnutrição e massa muscular diminuída. Os níveis de hemoglobina diminuíram conforme a piora do estado nutricional, sendo que os desnutridos tiveram a menor média. Conclusão: A anemia foi associada com o estado nutricional pelos instrumentos avaliados, também se observou a redução dos níveis de hemoglobina conforme a piora do estado nutricional. Portanto, a compreensão dos fatores associados à anemia é necessária, sendo fundamental que os profissionais de saúde investiguem a história clínica do idoso anêmico em busca de sua causa básica.Unisc2022-10-07info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfapplication/pdfhttps://online.unisc.br/seer/index.php/epidemiologia/article/view/1649010.17058/reci.v12i3.16490Revista de Epidemiologia e Controle de Infecção; Vol. 12 No. 3 (2022)Revista de Epidemiologia e Controle de Infecção; v. 12 n. 3 (2022)2238-3360reponame:Revista de Epidemiologia e Controle de Infecçãoinstname:Universidade de Santa Cruz do Sul (UNISC)instacron:UNISCengporhttps://online.unisc.br/seer/index.php/epidemiologia/article/view/16490/10661https://online.unisc.br/seer/index.php/epidemiologia/article/view/16490/10662Copyright (c) 2022 Leucinéia Schmidt, Daiana Argenta Kümpel, Ana Luisa Sant´Anna Alves, Marilene Rodrigues Portellahttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessSchmidt, LeucinéiaKümpel, Daiana ArgentaAlves, Ana Luisa Sant´AnnaPortella, Marilene Rodrigues2023-05-23T13:16:06Zoai:ojs.online.unisc.br:article/16490Revistahttps://online.unisc.br/seer/index.php/epidemiologia/indexONGhttp://online.unisc.br/seer/index.php/epidemiologia/oai||liapossuelo@unisc.br|| julia.kern@hotmail.com||reci.unisc@gmail.com2238-33602238-3360opendoar:2023-05-23T13:16:06Revista de Epidemiologia e Controle de Infecção - Universidade de Santa Cruz do Sul (UNISC)false
