Objective. To investigate the prevalence of malnutrition in orally and tube-fed nursing home (NH) residents in Germany and its relation to common health complaints and dietary intake.Methods. In 350 NH residents, subjects' characteristics, Mini Nutritional Assessment (MNA), and several health problems were inquired with the nursing staff using standardised interviews. In a subset of 122 residents, dietary intake was assessed by 3-day weighing records.Results. 7.7% of the participants were tube fed. 24.1% of orally nourished and 57.7% of tube-fed residents were malnourished (MNA < 17 p.). Malnutrition was significantly related to nausea/vomiting, constipation, pressure ulcers, dehydration, infections, antibiotic use, and hospitalisation. Mean daily energy intake was 1535 ± 413 kcal and mean protein intake was 54.2 ± 0.9 g/d irrespective of the nutritional state.Conclusion. In Germany, malnutrition is widespread among NH residents and is related to common health problems. The MNA rather reflects health condition than currently reduced dietary intake.

Objectives. To determine the optimal cut-off points of handgrip strength (HGS) to identify the undernutrition risk among individuals older than 65 years of age in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Design. Cross-sectional study. Setting. Towns of Sarajevo, Foca, Rogatica, and Pale in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Participants. 300 community-dwelling older adults and 146 nursing home residents. Comprehensive Geriatric multidimensional assessment (CGA) was carried out to evaluate general health, functional, and cognitive capabilities. Nutritional status and undernutrition risk were assessed by Mini Nutritional Assessment (MNA) and Seniors in the Community: risk evaluation for eating and nutrition, version II (SCREEN II). HGS was measured with a Smedley dynamometer. Results. According to the classification of nutritional status by MNA, 42% of community-dwelling men and 39% of community-dwelling women were at undernutrition risk. The undernutrition risk was significantly higher among nursing home residing men (89%) and women (78%) (p<0.001). When nutritional status was assessed by SCREEN II, 100% on nursing home residents, 86% of community-dwelling men and 80% of women were identified as having a high risk for undernutrition. Per MNA, HGS cut-off thresholds were 23.50 kgF (65–74 years) and 19.50 kgF (≥75 years) for men; 15.50 kgF (65–74 years) and 13.50 kgF (≥75 years) for women. Per SCREEN II, cut-points were 28.50 kgF (65–74 years) and 24.50 kgF (≥75 years) for men; 24.50 kgF (65–74 years), 19.50 kgF (≥75 years for women). Conclusion. HGS can be a useful instrument to identify undernutrition risk among the elderly patients. This study provides threshold for men and women older than 65 years of age in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Abstract Objectives determine and compare the prevalence of orofacial pain in older nursing home residents with and without dementia and explore the association between orofacial pain and health factors. Methods cross-sectional study conducted in four UK nursing homes. We used the Orofacial-Pain Scale for Non-Verbal Individuals (OPS-NVI) to identify orofacial pain in residents with dementia. Residents who were able to communicate self-reported orofacial pain. A brief oral examination was conducted. Information on demographics, Clinical Dementia Rating, Charlson Comorbidity Index, Cohen Mansfield Agitation Inventory, Barthel Index, 5-level Euroqol 5 Dimension, Oral Health Impact Profile 14, Mini Nutritional Assessment Short Form and medication was collected. Chi-squared tests, independent sample t-tests and Mann-Whitney U-tests were used to compare outcomes between groups. Multivariable logistic regression was used to evaluate predictors of orofacial pain. Results orofacial pain, assessed with the OPS-NVI, was present in 48.8% (95% confidence interval [C.I.] 36.1–50.7) of residents with dementia. Self-reported orofacial pain was present in 37.8% (95% C.I. 20.4–53.7) of residents with dementia and in 14.8% (95% C.I. 0.5–30.4) residents without dementia. Orofacial pain was significantly more prevalent in residents with dementia than those without (OPS-NVI; P = 0.002, self-report; P = 0.04). Having a soft diet, xerostomia, being dentate, and poor oral hygiene in dentate residents were significant predictors of orofacial pain in residents with dementia. Conclusion orofacial pain was more prevalent in residents with dementia. Oral health care should be part of routine care for residents, especially for those with dementia, to improve oral health and decrease the risk of developing orofacial pain.
