DIET AND SARCOPENIA STATUS OF THE ELDERLY PEOPLE AT AN ELDERLY CARE CENTER IN HA NOI IN 2023
Main Article Content
Abstract
Aims: To describe the dietary intake and to identify the sarcopenia status and its association with dietary intake of the elderly people at the nursing home.
Methods: A cross-sectional study was carried out on 100 elderly people at Tuyet Thai nursing home in Dong Anh district, Hanoi City between January and June, 2023.
Results: The median (interquartile) energy in the diet was 1304.2 (1092.7-1462.5) kcal/day, acounting for 84% of recommended dietary allowance (RDA). The median (interquartile) of glucid, protein, and lipid was 175.9 (149.8-217.2), 52.6 (42.5-61.7) và 38.5 (34.0-39.6) g/day, respectively, accounting for 78.9, 97.7, and 88.9% of the RDA.
Most subjects did not meet the RDA for vitamins and minerals. There were 69.0% of the subjects at risk of sarcopenia. There was an association between protein intake and the risk of sarcopenia. Groups whose dietary protein intake did not meet the RDA and age were associated with an increased risk of muscle wasting compared to those whose protein intake met RDA.
Conclusion: Elderly people have poor diets in terms of energy, vitamins, and minerals. The risk of sarcopenia in the elderly is still quite high.
