| Abstract | OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the quality of life of a noninstitutionalized population aged older than 75 y by determining nutritional and health status, and to investigate the relationship between nutritional risk and quality of life. METHODS: A cross-sectional study of elderly people was conducted in Garrucha (Almería) in southern Spain. A total of 102 participants (61 women and 41 men) aged older than 75 y. The Mini Nutritional Assessment test was used to detect nutritional risk. Quality of life was assessed using the EuroQol-5D test. Body mass index, education level, physical activity, history of illness, use of medication, and smoking and alcoholic habits were also determined. RESULTS: Most of the population presented an acceptable nutritional status, were functionally independent and presented a best health state evaluated by the EuroQol-5D index. However, almost 20.6% were at risk of malnutrition, especially women and participants over the age of 90 y. A significant negative association (P < 0.05) between the risk of malnutrition and index of quality of life was found. CONCLUSIONS: Risk of malnutrition was common among community-dwelling older people. Participants who were malnourished or at high risk of malnutrition also had a lower rate of quality of life and greater loss of personal autonomy. |

It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
