Abstract:
Malnutrition leads to poor prognoses, including a predisposition to falls. Few studies have investigated the relationship between malnutrition and falls during hospitalization. This study aimed to determine malnutrition’s association with falls during hospitalization. A retrospective observational study was conducted. Patients aged ≥65 years that were admitted to and discharged from a university hospital between April 2018 and March 2019 were examined. Patients with independent basic activities of daily living were included. Diagnosis of malnutrition was based on the European Society for Clinical Nutrition and Metabolism (ESPEN) criteria at admission. Disease information such as the Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI) and reasons for hospitalization were reviewed. Kaplan–Meier curve and multivariate Cox regression analyses were performed. Data from 6081 patients (mean age: 74.4 ± 6.1 years; males: 58.1%) were analyzed. The mean CCI was 2.3 ± 2.8 points. Malnutrition was detected in 668 (11.0%) and falls occurred in 55 (0.9%) patients. Malnourished patients experienced a higher fall rate than those without malnutrition (2.4% vs. 0.7%, log-rank test p < 0.001). In multivariate analysis, malnutrition had the highest hazard ratio for falls among covariates (hazard ratio 2.78, 95% confidence interval 1.51–5.00, p = 0.001). In conclusion, malnutrition at the time of admission to hospital predicts in-hospital falls.

Abstract:
Bakgrund Det biologiska åldrandet är en naturlig process som är universellt och framträder hos alla individer. Åldersförändringar är oåterkalleliga och leder till en försämring av organismens funktionsförmåga, gör det svårare att motstå påfrestningar och ökar därmed risken för sjukdom och död. Även förekommande sjukdomstillstånd som stroke och demens leder till funktionsnedsättningar hos den äldre patienten och detta ökar behovet av omvårdnad. Sjuksköterskans roll är att främja patientens hälsa genom att stärka patientens egna resurser och skapa förutsättningar för den äldre att bibehålla den fysiska funktionen och bli så självständig som möjligt. Äldre människor har ett annorlunda nutritionsbehov som innebär att de behöver en energitätare kost med en högre andel protein och fett. Att täcka den äldres vätskebehov är betydelsefullt eftersom de löper en högre risk för dehydrering. Risken för vitamin och mineralbrist är också högre hos äldre.  Syfte Att belysa malnutrition dess förekomst och orsaker hos den äldre patienten. Hur kan sjuksköterskan mildra / påverka malnutrition hos den äldre malnutrierade patienten i sitt omvårdnadsarbete.  Metod En litteraturstudie genomfördes för att besvara syftet och beskriva det nuvarande kunskapsläget. Sökning skedde i två olika databaser, PubMed och CinAhl, där vedertagna sökord samt urvalskriterier användes. Författarna sökte även data via manuella sökningar. Totalt inkluderades 20 artiklar i studien. Dessa artiklar har kvalitetsbedömts och presenterats i en matris.  Resultat Malnutrition är ett vanligt förekommande problem hos den äldre patienten. De vanligaste orsakerna till malnutrition är hög ålder, kognitiv svikt, sjukdom, dålig måltidsmiljö, försämrad munstatus, dysfagi och depression. Bedömningsinstrument finns och fungerar effektivt om vårdpersonalen använder dem på ett korrekt sätt. Sjuksköterskan spelar en stor roll i omvårdnaden av den malnutritierade patienten och flertalet studier visar på brister i utförandet av de omvårdnadsåtgärder som krävs. Detta beror till stor del på bristande kunskapsnivå. Bland de förebyggande åtgärderna är en positiv måltidssituation, att implementera individanpassade åtgärder som främjar ätandet samt införandet av nutritionsstöd i form av olika typer av näringstillskott.  Slutsats Studien har visat att malnutrition hos den äldre patienten är vanligt förekommande och kan leda till fördröjd återhämtningen och att sjukdomstillståndet förvärras. Kunskapsnivån hos vårdpersonalen är av stor betydelse för att bedöma, förebygga och åtgärda malnutrition och dess konsekvenser. Eftersom en stor del av de åtgärder som krävs ingår i den basala omvårdnaden har sjuksköterskan ett stort ansvar när det gäller förebyggande och behandling av malnutrition.

Abstract:
Äldre människor är mer utsatta för nutritionsbrist än yngre och har en högre risk för att utveckla undernäring. Undernäring är fortfarande mycket underskattat, vilket kan innebära att vårdpersonal inte inser, hur allvarligt näringsmässiga problem kunde bli. Syftet var att beskriva hur sjuksköterskan i sin yrkesroll kan identifiera malnutrition hos äldre människor, samt beskriva vilka attityder sjuksköterskor har till malnutrition. Metod: för att uppnå syftet med studien gjordes en litteraturöversikt. Sökningar gjordes via databaserna PubMed och CINAHL där 15 artiklar, både kvalitativa och kvantitativa, sammanställdes och analyserades utifrån en manifest innehållsanalys. Resultatet visade att sjuksköterskan borde ha ökad kunskap och medvetenhet om nutritionsfrågor för att underlätta bedömning av patientens nutritionsstatus. Viktiga faktorer i sjuksköterskans roll var att inhämta kunskap om patienten och vara medveten om matsituationen. Vidare framgår det att sjuksköterskor använde sig av hjälpmedel för bestämning av nutritionsstatus. De vanligaste hjälpmedlen var BMI, SGA, MNA och NUFFE. Sjuksköterskor hade både negativa och positiva inställningar till nutritionsbedömning. Slutsats: Mer kunskap behövs bland sjuksköterskor angående nutritions problematik hos äldre människor. Det skulle vara intressant med ytterligare forskning, om hur utbildning inom nutrition, skulle påverka förekomsten av malnutrition bland äldre patienter . Detta kan i sin tur leda till förbättrad omvårdnad, för patienter med dåligt näringsintag

Abstract:
La desnutrición crónica ha sido una condición persistente entre niños/as Ecuatorianos/as. Tiene el potencial de perpetuar el ciclo de la pobreza ya que afecta el desarrollo cognitivo, los logros académicos y, por ende, el potencial flujo de ingresos durante el ciclo de vida. El programa de suplementos nutricionales instituido por el gobierno reabastece la provisión de micronutrientes a través de suplementos nutricionales diarios. En el Capítulo 2 se aplica una serie de modelos de regresión discontinua y de variables instrumentales y no se encuentra evidencia de que el tratamiento ha tenido un efecto significativo sobre los niveles de hemoglobina entre niños/as. ¿Existen otras causas de la desnutrición? La literatura médica indica que el estrés maternal pre-natal puede incrementar el riesgo de consecuencias adversas para el/la niño/a al nacer las cuales pueden tener repercusiones más tarde durante el ciclo de vida ya que el exponer al feto a condiciones adversas en-útero afecta una serie de “interruptores” de la secuencia genética del individuo llamados la epigenetica. En el Capítulo 3, se estudia directamente este propuesto mecanismo utilizando la crisis financiera de 1999 como un shock de estrés no anticipado a través de una regresión discontinua llamada “sharp” o “aguda.” Se encuentra que los/as niños/as expuestas en-útero tienen puntajes z de la talla para la edad significativamente más bajos que sus contrapartes no expuestos. Consecuentemente, el limitado efecto del programa de suplementación nutricional puede ser parcialmente explicado por la exposición al estrés maternal pre-natal. Adicionalmente, este locus biológico conectando el estrés maternal pre-natal a la trayectoria de crecimiento infantil provee un proceso teórico conectando la exclusión social y la salud individual. Para estudiar la validez de lo anterior, en el Capítulo 4, se mide el efecto de la desigualdad de consumo sobre la desnutrición a nivel individual. Se encuentra un impacto exógeno del coeficiente de Gini, independiente del efecto del ingreso del hogar, en el 2006 pero no en el 2014. Este Capítulo conclusivo da evidencias parciales de que la sistemática exclusión social puede causar desnutrición y sesgar el efecto de programas de suplementación nutricional a través del efecto que tiene sobre el estrés maternal pre-natal.
Chronic malnutrition has been a persistent condition among Ecuadorian children. It has the potential to perpetuate the cycle of poverty by affecting cognitive development, schooling achievements and the potential lifetime income steam. The government-instituted nutritional-supplementation-program treats malnutrition by replenishing important micronutrient stocks through daily nutritional supplements. In Chapter 2, I apply a series of regression distribution (RD) and instrumental variable models and find no evidence that this treatment program has a significant average effect on hemoglobin levels among children. Are there other social causes of chronic malnutrition? The medical literature indicates that pre-natal maternal stress may increase the risk of adverse birth outcomes and can have effects later in life because fetal exposure to adverse in-utero conditions affects a series of “switches” in the genetic sequence of an individual called the epigenome. In Chapter 3, I test this proposed mechanism directly by using the 1999 financial crisis as an unanticipated exogenous stress shock. I use the sharp RD method and find those exposed in-utero had significantly lower height-for-age z-scores than their non-exposed peers 12 years after the exposure. Consequently, the supplementation program’s limited effect may be partially explained by exposure to pre-natal maternal stress. Additionally, a biological locus linking pre-natal maternal stress to childhood growth trajectory provides a theoretical pathway linking social exclusion to individual health. In order to assess the validity of the later, in Chapter 4, I test whether inequality has an effect on malnutrition at the individual level. I find a causal exogenous impact of the Gini coefficient on malnutrition independent of household income in 2006 but not in 2014. This concluding Chapter gives partial evidence that systematic social exclusion can both cause malnutrition and skew the effect of nutritional supplementation programs through its effect on pre-natal maternal stress.

Abstract:
Chronic energy malnutrition remains the major silent global nutritional challenge for the future. This thesis investigates specific factors which may have contributed to its unabated persistence. A critique of the literature concludes that nomenclature, the complexity and unspecific nature of multi-factorial chronic malnutrition problems, narrowness of medical physiological based conceptual models to identify the origins of nutritional risk, and the technical difficulties associated with the accurate assessment and monitoring of nutrition status amongst the free-living have contributed to the limited progress in abating chronic energy malnutrition. To illustrate the dimensions of the above problem the prevalence, severity, seasonality and determinants of chronic energy malnutrition within and between subsistent agricultural households residing in a drought prone, food deficit area of Zimbabwe are investigated. A comprehensive longitudinal food, health and anthropometric survey of 354 households was conducted over a 15 month period and has been analysed. To capture both the seasonal dynamics of the nutrition situation and intra-household nutritional status, all household members were measured. Anthropometric indices were used as proxies of child and adult nutritional status. To identify the main risks and determinants of nutrition security a set of simple indicators used as proxies for dietary intake, health status, care and household welfare were estimated and equated with anthropometric status. Simultaneous analysis of adult and child anthropometry unveiled a paradoxical situation with the co-existence of high prevalence of chronic under-nourishment amongst children with high rates of adult female over-nourishment. Over a third of the children were diagnosed as stunted, (height for age < -2SD) and quarter were estimated to be underweight (weight for age < -2SD). Concurrently, over a fifth of the adult female population were classified as overweight (BMI 25-29.99) a further 10% depending on the season were diagnosed as obese (BMI > 30). Contrarily, a quarter of the male population were diagnosed as chronic energy deficient CED (BMI < 18.5). Male over-nourishment was virtually non-existent. Combining the above results with low rates of child wasting < 10%, the Buhera population is diagnosed as severely chronically malnourished. The study attributes the intra and inter household differences in nutritional status to physiological, diet, infection, socio-economic, cultural and environmental factors. The seasonal variation in nutritional status was uncharacteristic. Optimal adult nutritional status was observed in March at the end of the pre-harvest period. Modest seasonal oscillations in adult body weight equivalent to an absolute change of 4-5% were observed. Seasonal fluctuations in child growth rates were detected, a lagged association was found between significant pre-harvest weight gains and the following post-harvest rate of height velocity. Self-reported illness was associated with seasonal weight loss. The existence of both extremes of the chronic energy malnutrition spectrum within and between households suggests considerable heterogeneity in biological response to prevailing food insecure and poor environmental conditions in Buhera. The low ratio of CED:obesity observed amongst women provides evidence that over-nourishment previously associated with affluent societies is becoming the burden of the rural poor. These two findings present a dual challenge when developing policies and programmes to alleviate chronic malnutrition.

Abstract:
The work was undertaken to examine the effects of nutritional deficiencies on cancer induction. Two of the most common and widely distributed nutrients, iron and folic acid, were examined to evaluate the effects of their deficiency on animals. The Syrian golden hamster was the animal model for all experimental work. In the first part of the study an attempt was made to induce iron deficiency in young adult male hamsters by feeding iron deficient diet coupled with repeated venesection of 1.5ml every two weeks. Following twelve weeks on this regime a superficial biopsy was taken, on week 13, from the medial wall of one pouch in each hamster in order to evaluate the effect of iron depletion on the epithelial compartment thicknesses. After allowing the biopsy sites to heal for two weeks, a solution of 0.25% DMBA in acetone was painted, three times per week, for eight weeks, on a defined one square centimetre area in each pouch of each hamster of the experimental and control groups. The hamsters were then maintained on the same dietary regimes for twelve weeks before being killed at the beginning of week 37 for analysis. Iron deficiency anaemia could not be induced in the experimental animals of this study. The effect of the iron deficient diet on epithelial compartment thicknesses at the stage of the biopsy was not clear. However, restriction of iron intake did cause animals to develop significantly fewer grossly seen tumours and histologically identified carcinomas than control animals. In the second part of this thesis an attempt was made to investigate alternative hamster dietary components that have less iron contamination than the diet given in the first part of this thesis. Casein and calcium lactate were the main contributers to iron in the hamster diet. Casein could not be substituted by another source of protein for hamsters. However, other sources for calcium with less iron contamination were available and therefore investigated in this part of the study. Three groups of young adult male and female hamsters were given the fully nourishing powdered diet used in previous studies. However, calcium lactate was substituted for by either calcium acetate, calcium chloride or calcium sulphate in each group. None of the three diets was accepted by the animals and many of them died of starvation. When calcium salts were replaced by calcium lactate the surviving animals accepted the diet and recovered quickly afterwards. This study proved that calcium lactate could not be substituted by any other calcium salt with less iron content and therefore iron contamination in the hamster diet could not be further reduced by this method. In the third part of this thesis the effect of nutritional folate deficiency on cancer induction was studied. A group of young adult female hamsters was given folate deficient diet for four weeks. On week 5, DMBA in acetone at a concentration of 0.25% was painted on a defined one square centimetre area of the medial wall of each pouch in each hamster in folate deficient and control groups. The carcinogen was applied three times per week for eight weeks following which animals were maintained on the same dietary regimes for a further 13 weeks before being killed at the beginning of week 27 for the final analysis of the study. It was found that nutritional folate deficiency had significantly reduced the number of animals developing grossly counted tumours and histologically identified carcinomas. The folate deficient animals also developed significantly less tumours and carcinomas compared to control groups. In the last part of this thesis, the effect of combined iron and folate deficiency was examined for its role in carcinogenesis of the hamster cheek pouch. Two groups of young adult male hamsters were fed powdered diet lacking iron and folic acid and a third group was fed diet lacking iron only. One of the combined deficiency groups and the iron deficiency group were bled 1.0-1.3ml every week. On week 6 of the study DMBA in acetone at a concentration of 0.25% was painted three times per week for eight weeks on the same area of the pouch used in the previous studies. The animals were then maintained on the same experimental regimes for a further eleven weeks before being sacrificed, on week 25, for the final analysis of the study. In this study, iron deficiency anaemia was induced in animals of the bleeding groups. Animals in the group with combined iron and folate deficiency without bleeding showed low normal folate levels and normal haemoglobin levels. The two groups that were bled repeatedly showed iron deficiency anaemia. In all groups, the numbers of tumours counted grossly and the numbers of carcinomas identified histologically were significantly reduced compared to control animals in the previous studies. The folate deficient diet did not appear to influence the induction of iron deficiency. The studies reported in this thesis proved that nutritional folate deficiency not only reduces the incidence, but it also reduces the numbers of tumours and carcinomas in the hamster cheek pouch. Iron deficiency anaemia was also found to significantly reduce the numbers of tumours and carcinomas of the hamster cheek pouch. It was not possible to produce combined iron and folate deficiency under the conditions of these studies. However, animals fed on a diet lacking iron and folic acid had significantly reduced numbers of grossly seen tumours and histologically identified carcinomas in the cheek pouch in response to DMBA applications. In each of the reported studies, the nutritional deficiency of iron and folic acid, whether individually or combined was found to significantly reduce the growth rate of affected animals.

Abstract:
Global Cancer burden is high and it is projected to rise by 47% by 2040 from an estimated incidence of 19.3 Million according to the 2020 global cancer estimates. There has been notable improvement in cancer care in Kenya but malnutrition in cancer patients remain highly under-recognised and the malnutrition screening tools remain under-utilised especially in Nyeri county. Analytical cross-sectional study design was used in this study and a Malnutrition Universal Screening Tool (MUST) was used to screen the patients for malnutrition risk. All cancer patients who had attained an age of 18 years, at any cancer stage were included. SPSS was used to analyse data. A response rate of 93% was attained and sixty one percent of these were female while 39% were male. Sixty one percent had acquired primary school education and half of the respondents survive on a monthly income of between 0-10,000. Breast cancer was the most common cancer type in the population (39%), followed by esophageal and throat cancer at 14.5% and gastric cancer at 14%. Prostate cancer was the most prevalent among the male respondents at 11%. Using the MUST, more than half (51.7%) of the respondents were at a high risk of developing malnutrition, followed by low risk (32.6%) with only 15.7% respondents being at a medium risk of malnutrition. Using the BMI, half of the respondents, (50%) had a normal nutrition status and only 19.8% respondents were underweight. There is a significant difference between classifying nutrition status of cancer patients using BMI and Malnutrition Universal Screening Tool (P<0.05). Malnutrition Universal Screening tool is easy to use and has the ability to identify the risk of malnutrition among cancer patients and can be adopted in cancer care to improve cancer prognosis and reduce malnutrition rates among cancer patients.

Abstract:
Kwale County, comprising five sub-counties faces significant challenges related to acute malnutrition, with notable rates of stunting, underweight, and wasting. According to the Long Rain Assessment 2022, integrated Phase Classification acute malnutrition was classified in the Alert Phase (IPC Phase 2) in both livelihood zones. In 2022, County Stunting levels dropped from 34.2% reported in 2012 to 29.5% reported in 2022 which remains at a high prevalence level compared to the national level where 22.7% of children under-5 are stunted (KDHS, 2022). Therefore, integrated management of acute malnutrition (IMAM) services is crucial in addressing malnutrition, with 137 health facilities implementing these services alongside other nutrition interventions. However, the effectiveness of these interventions depends on the capacity of healthcare workers. Thus, through the USAID Stawisha Pwani Project, which supported capacity building for 180 healthcare workers for effective nutrition assessment and management. The overall objective was to equip the healthcare workers with the necessary capacity to manage early detection and treatment of acute malnutrition, prevent malnutrition through public health interventions and education, use appropriate measurements for identification and referral of malnourished children, and strengthen referral pathways for IMAM programs. The methodology involved conducting training sessions for healthcare workers focusing on IMAM principles and emerging evidence on the management of at-risk mothers and infants under six months of age. The Results reveal that an improved screening and early identification of acute malnutrition cases, with more children enrolled in the IMAM program. Non-cured children in outpatient therapeutic programs also showed a downward trend, suggesting improved quality of care. In conclusion, sustaining efforts to address acute malnutrition requires ongoing training, mentorship and on-the-job support for healthcare workers. This approach not only enhances retention of skills but also expands the pool of trained staff, thereby improving health outcomes for mothers and children. Such strategies are vital for achieving sustainable development goals and realizing national objectives for health and nutrition and therefore continued investment in training and support programs is essential for reducing malnutrition and promoting the well-being of communities in Kwale County and beyond.

Abstract:
Objectives. To review the association between malnutrition and clinical outcomes among hospitalized patients, evaluate effectiveness of measurement tools for malnutrition on clinical outcomes, and assess effectiveness of hospital-initiated interventions for patients diagnosed with malnutrition. Data sources. We searched electronic databases (Embase®, MEDLINE®, PubMed®, and the Cochrane Library) from January 1, 2000, to June 3, 2021. We hand-searched reference lists of relevant studies and searched for unpublished studies in ClinicalTrials.gov. Review methods. Using predefined criteria and dual review, we selected (1) existing systematic reviews (SRs) to assess the association between malnutrition and clinical outcomes, (2) randomized and non-randomized studies to evaluate the effectiveness of malnutrition tools on clinical outcomes, and (3) randomized controlled trials (RCTs) to assess effectiveness of hospital-initiated treatments for malnutrition. Clinical outcomes of interest included mortality, length of stay, 30-day readmission, quality of life, functional status, activities of daily living, hospital acquired conditions, wound healing, and discharge disposition. When appropriate, we conducted meta-analysis to quantitatively summarize study findings; otherwise, data were narratively synthesized. When available, we used pooled estimates from existing SRs to determine the association between malnutrition and clinical outcomes, and assessed the strength of evidence. Results. Six existing SRs (including 43 unique studies) provided evidence on the association between malnutrition and clinical outcomes. Low to moderate strength of evidence (SOE) showed an association between malnutrition and increased hospital mortality and prolonged hospital length of stay. This association was observed across patients hospitalized for an acute medical event requiring intensive care unit care, heart failure, and cirrhosis. Literature searches found no studies that met inclusion criteria and assessed effectiveness of measurement tools. The primary reason studies did not meet inclusion criteria is because they lacked an appropriate control group. Moderate SOE from 11 RCTs found that hospital-initiated malnutrition interventions likely reduce mortality compared with usual care among hospitalized patients diagnosed with malnutrition. Low SOE indicated that hospital-initiated malnutrition interventions may also improve quality of life compared to usual care. Conclusions. Evidence shows an association between malnutrition and increased mortality and prolonged length of hospital stay among hospitalized patients identified as malnourished. However, the strength of this association varied depending on patient population and tool used to identify malnutrition. Evidence indicates malnutrition-focused hospital-initiated interventions likely reduce mortality and may improve quality of life compared to usual care among patients diagnosed with malnutrition. Research is needed to assess the clinical utility of measurement tools for malnutrition.
