OBJECTIVES. The aim of this study was to determine and compare assessment of nutritional status of elderly people in a practice of family medicine, in relation to socio demographic characteristics, anthropometric measurements, number of chronic disease and to determine relation between anthropometric measurements and results of MNA test STUDY DESIGN. cross-sectional study PARTICIPANTS AND METHODS. The research included 207 patients, aged 65 or more, in period of january and march 2019. at community health center Slavonski Brod. During the visit, patients' anthropometric measurements were taken along with MNA test. Additional information about chronic diseases and lab results were used from Medicus programme base. RESULTS. MNA test has shown that 143 participants (69,1%) had normal nutritional status while 62 participants (30%) were at risks of being malnourished. The age median of participants was 72 years, and body mass index median was 27,89 kg/m2. Multimorbidity was observed in 64,73% of participants and 42% of them take more than 3 drugs. Most of elderly had a normal presence of GFR. Women older than 65 are in greater risk for developing malnutrition. Participants with normal nutritional status were in general both younger and greater in body volume then malnourished participants, which were generally older and smaller in body volume. Most of elderly people were registered as well nourished, which corresponds to data from previous studies. CONCLUSION. According to the MNA test results, elderly people in Health center Slavonski Brod, had showed good nutritional status. It is important to constantly keep record of antropometric status to lower hospitalization rates and cost of treatment, as well as prevention from disease progression. Nutritional screening and assessment should be a standard of care for older persons, but it is still not validated in Croatia.
