Abstract:
Objective To investigate the prevalence of nutritional risk and nutrition support treatment in elderly hospitalized patients,and provide a basis for nutrient management in elderly hospitalized patients.Methods The Nutritional Risk Screening 2002 (NRS 2002) were administered to 163 patients (74 cases in digestive system and 89 cases in endocrine system) in elderly hospitalized patients from November 2013 to March 2014.Results The prevalence of nutritional risk was higher than in the digestive system (60.8％) in the endocrine system (32.6％) (P＜0.05).Conclusions There is a high prevalence of nutritional risk in elderly wards,and the wards with lower prevalence of nutritional risk are more likely to lack of nutrition support treatment.Therefore,it is necessary to pay attention to nutritional risk and nutritional support treatment in departments with low prevalence of nutritional risk.
