Abstract

This study aimed to evaluate the nutritional status and activities of daily living of older adults in a Vietnamese nursing home. A cross-sectional study included 100 older pepole aged ≥ 60 years old in a nursing home in Northern Vietnam in 2023. The nutritional status was estimated by the energy intake, protein intake, body mass index, and three scales containing the Mini nutritional assessment – short form (MNA-SF), the simlified Nutritional Appetite Questionnaire (SNAQ), the oral Health assessment tool (OHAT). The activities of daily living (ADL) was assessed by the Katz Index of Independence. The relationship between nutritional status and ADL was assessed in the regresstion model containing three scores of MNA-SF, SNAQ, OHAT, BMI, and the Katz Index of Independence. About 28% the subjects were totally dependent on the others’ helps in ADL. The subjects in the age less than 75 group had the significantly higher ADL index, SNAQ score, and BMI than the age ≥ 75 group. The ADL had medium correlation with the energy intake.The nutritional status had correlation to the activities of daily living in older person.
