Abstract

Malnutricija, ili stanje neadekvatne uhranjenosti, i sarkopenija, bolest gubitka mišićne snage i mase skeletnih mišića, česte su kod starijih osoba. Cilj rada bio je napraviti probir malnutricije i sarkopenije kod starijih osoba (≥ 60 godina) u vrijeme pandemije COVID-19 jednostavnim alatom za nutritivni probir na daljinu (R-MAPP). Alat se sastoji od dvaju validiranih upitnika za probir malnutricije i sarkopenije – MUST (Malnutrition Universal Screening Tool) i SARC-F (Strength, Assistance with walking, Rise from a chair, Climb stairs, Falls). Istraživanje je obuhvatilo 65 pacijenata Kliničkog bolničkog centra Zagreb kontaktiranih telefonski. Rezultati dobiveni MUST-om pokazali su da najveći broj ispitanika (60,0 %) ima nizak rizik od malnutricije. Preostalih 40,0 % ispitanika ima visok / umjeren rizik. Rezultati dobiveni SARC-F-om pokazali su da kod 36,9 % ispitanika postoji rizik od sarkopenije. Većem riziku od malnutricije doprinosi pothranjenost i značajan gubitak tjelesne mase, a povećanje tjelesne mase, veći stupanj uhranjenosti, veći broj bolesti i starija dob doprinose riziku od sarkopenije.

Abstract (english)

Malnutrition, or undernutrition, and sarcopenia, a loss of skeletal muscle strength and mass, are common in the elderly. The aim of this study was to perform screening for malnutrition and sarcopenia in the elderly (≥ 60 years) during the COVID-19 pandemic using a simple remote nutritional screening tool (R-MAPP). The tool consists of two validated questionnaires for malnutrition and sarcopenia screening – MUST (Malnutrition Universal Screening Tool) and SARC-F (Strength, Assistance with walking, Rise from a chair, Climb stairs, Falls). The study included 65 patients at the Clinical Hospital Center Zagreb contacted by telephone. The results obtained by MUST showed that the largest number of participants (60.0%) have a low risk of malnutrition. The remaining 40.0% of participants have a high/medium risk. The results obtained by SARC-F showed that 36.9% of participants are at risk of sarcopenia. Malnutrition and significant weight loss contribute to a higher risk of malnutrition, and weight gain, higher malnutrition, higher disease rates and older age contribute to the risk of sarcopenia.
