Item Association of Mini Nutritional Assessment with anthropometric measurements and muscle strength in elderly people: a neglected risk group(2021) Hoca, Mustafa; Turker, Perim F.Aim: Elderly individuals that are one of the neglected risk group are at a higher risk for health problems owing to inadequate and unbalanced nutrition. Nutritional status is also an important determinant of health in people over 65 years of age. Screening and diagnostic instruments are important in the recognition of the elderly people in evaluating the results of malnutrition. Unfortunately, there is no gold standard for the detection of malnutrition in elderly people. In this study, we aimed to assess the association of Mini Nutritional Assessment with anthropometric measurements and muscle strength in elderly people. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study included 210 elderly volunteers. Anthropometric measurements were taken, body mass index (BMI) values were calculated and muscle strength was evaluated by a hand dynamometer. Nutritional status was assessed using the Mini Nutritional Assessment (MNA) screening tool. The study was approved by Research Ethics Committee. Results: Elderly individuals with a BMI value of >= 30 kg/m(2) had significantly lower right and left hand grip strengths than BMI values of 18.5-24.9 kg/m(2) and 25-29.9 kg/m(2). However, elderly individuals with a BMI of >= 30 kg/m(2) had significantly higher waist/ hip ratio, waist/height ratio, body fat percentage, waist, hip, calf, neck and mid-upper arm circumferences than BMI values of 18.5-24.9 kg/m(2) and 25-29.9 kg/m(2). Additionally, a positive and statistically significant correlation was determined between the right- and left-hand grip strengths and the MNA score in women. Conclusion: To improve the nutritional status, elderly people should be monitored at regular intervals by obtaining anthropometric and muscle strength measurements and performing nutritional status screening tests.Item Evaluation of lipid levels according to demographic characteristics and anthropometric measurements of healthy individuals in Konya province(2019) Kirac, Cem Onur; Aksan, Serkan; Kaya, AhmetPurpose: The aim of this study was to determine serum lipid values of healthy individuals who applied to our internal medicine outpatient clinics in Konya and to compare these values with demographic factors and show their relationship with anthropometric measurements. Materials and Methods: A total of 200 healthy 18 individuals over 18 years of age who applied to internal medicine outpatient clinics were included in the study. Their anthropometric measurements were performed their demographic characteristics were questioned. In addition, total cholesterol(TC), low density lipoprotein(LDL), triglyceride(TG), high density lipoprotein (HDL), apolipoprotein A- 1 (Apo A-1), apolipoprotein B(Apo B) and lipoprotein (a) levels were studied from their blood samples. Results: Two hundred healthy volunteers, including 123 women and 77 men were participated in our study. TC levels were 183 +/- 40 mg/dl, LDL level 112 +/- 34 mg/dl, TG level 112 +/- 61 mg/dl, HDL level 47 +/- 11mg/dl, Apo A-1 level 133 +/- 22 mg/dl, Apo B level 79 +/- 22 mg/dl Lp(a) level 19 +/- 12 mg/dl. HDL and Apo B levels were higher in women however TG and TC/HDL ratio was significantly higher in males. Thirty one percent of participants had hypercholesterolemia (>= 200 mg/dl), 27% had increased levels of LDL (>= 130 mg/dl). TK, LDL and Apo B levels were significantly increasing with age. Conclusion: When we compared the extensive studies which were carried out in Turkey, lower TC, LDL, TG and higer HDL levels were detected in our study.
