samenvatting

Prevention of malnutrition is an important issue among older nursing homes residents. From this perspective it is crucial that malnutrition is detected in an early stage. Hence, parameters and tools are required that are suitable for these institutions. Based on recent publications an assessment has been made to identify which parameters are most relevant in nursing homes. The literature study indicates that a wide scope of parameters exists for screening of malnutrition. Only a limited number has been studied in the elderly. In addition, more complicated parameters and tools have not revealed substantial added value to relatively simple parameters, such as foodrecords, weight loss and Body Mass Index.

Samenvatting

Preventie van ondervoeding is een belangrijk aandachtspunt bij ouderen die zijn opgenomen in een verpleeghuis. Daarvoor is het noodzakelijk dat ondervoeding al in een vroeg stadium gedetecteerd wordt. Dit vereist parameters en instrumenten die geschikt zijn voor het verpleeghuis. In dit artikel wordt aan de hand van recente literatuur beoordeeld welke parameters het meest relevant zijn voor deze specifieke setting. Uit dit literatuuronderzoek blijkt dat er een breed scala aan parameters bestaat om ondervoeding te onderkennen. Slechts een gedeelte hiervan is gedegen onderzocht bij ouderen. Bovendien lijken meer gecompliceerde parameters en instrumenten meestal weinig toe te voegen aan relatief eenvoudige parameters zoals voedingslijsten, gewichtsverlies en Body Mass Index.
