Objective To expore the effects of international resident assessment instruments (InterRAI) comprehensive evaluation and intervention on nutritional status of aged inpatients.Methods Totally 235 aged inpatients of a tertiary hospital from February to December 2015 were selected,and 126 cases of them had nutritional risk after the test of NRS 2002. Patients with nutritional risk were randomly divided into the intervention group and the control group,with 63 cases in each group. Patients in two groups were all given dietary estimation,nutritional education,and enteral or parenteral nutrition;besides,patients in the intervention group also received InterRAI comprehensive evaluation and intervention. At the first day and three months after intervention,Inbody 720 body composition analyzer was used to test the protein,body fat, skeletal muscle and BMI,and the second nutritional evaluation was conducted through blood nutrition indicators (plasma total protein concentration,serum albumin,prealbumin and transferrin). SPSS 17.0 software was used to analyze the data,and measurement data adopted two independent samples to design thet test.Results At the first day after admission,there were no differences in body composition index and blood nutrition indicators between two groups (P>0.05). Reexamination after three months showed that,the protein (8.5±0.7) kg,body fat (16.5± 4.8) kg,skeletal muscle (24.2±4.0) kg and BMI (17.2±5.6) kg/m2 in the intervention group,were all higher than the protein (6.6±0.9) kg,body fat (20.2±5.6) kg,skeletal muscle (18.5±3.1) kg and BMI (16.5±6.1) kg/m2 in the control group (t=9.595,8.055,11.331,2.015;P<0.05). and blood nutrition indicators in the intervention group, were better than that in the control group (P<0.05). The plasma total protein concentration (67.1±6.9) g/L, serum albumin (44.3±7.4) g/L, prealbumin (245.1±15.4) mg/L and transferrin (2 530.3±190.5) mg/L in the intervention group,were all higher than the plasma total protein concentration (55.6±7.2) g/L,serum albumin (32.5±6.3)g/L, prealbumin (210.1±16.8) mg/L and transferrin (2 001.1±169.8) mg/L in the control group (t=12.805,7.890, 9.421,14.427;P<0.05).Conclusions The InterRAI comprehensive evaluation and intervention can effectively improve the nutritional status and the quality of life in the elderly,and reduce the nutritional risk.

Objective:To systematically evaluate the dose-response relationships of resistance exercise intensity in frail elderly.Methods:A comprehensive search of randomized controlled trials on the dose-response relationships of resistance exercise for frail elderly in PubMed, Embase, The Cochrane Library, Web of Science, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), and Wanfang Database. The documents that met the conditions were screened out, and after the data were extracted and the quality of the documents were evaluated, the RevMan 5.3 software was used for Meta analysis.Results:A total of 10 eligible randomized controlled trials were included in this study. The subjects of the study were 454 cases of frail and pre-frail elderly. After Meta analysis, there was a dose-response relationships between the training intensity of resistance exercise and the muscle strength, muscle endurance, and physical function of frail elderly. Both low-intensity and high-intensity resistance exercises can significantly increase the leg muscle strength of frail elderly people ( MD=4.58, 95% CI 3.34-5.82, P<0.05) and muscle endurance ( MD=12.27, 95% CI 6.54-17.99, P<0.05). Compared with low-intensity resistance exercise, high-intensity resistance exercise increased leg muscle strength of frail elderly people ( MD=7.97, 95% CI 0.85-15.09, P<0.05) and muscle endurance ( MD=6.94, 95% CI 5.21-8.66, P<0.05) showed more obvious advantages. The analysis of the results of the chair sitting test and the stairs climbing test shows that low-intensity resistance exercise has no obvious advantage in improving the physical function of frail elderly people, while high-intensity resistance exercise can significantly improve the physical function of frail elderly people ( MD=-5.8, 95% CI -7.3--4.29, P<0.05; MD=-1.20, 95% CI-2.17--0.23, P<0.05). Conclusions:Resistance exercise can significantly improve the muscle strength, muscle endurance and physical function of the frail elderly. High-intensity resistance exercise is more effective than low-intensity resistance exercise.
