Nutritional Screening in Older Individuals

Malnourished

Hospital-based case management programs and home hospitalization services following the risk stratification model of Kaiser Permanente and Kings Fund select an estimated 5% of older individuals living in the community who are at high risk of hospitalization and adverse outcomes. The objective of these services is to avoid deterioration and hospital admissions or visits to the emergency services by regular follow-up, proactive home visits and support of self-care . The prevalence of malnutrition in patients selected using this model of care is unknown.

Improving Nutrition and Health Outcomes in Intibuca, Honduras

MalnutritionUndernutrition

The purpose of this research study is to better understand how to prevent malnutrition in children under age 5 years in Intibuca, Honduras. A randomized community trial design was used to implement a nutrition program, including a complementary nutrition supplement, educational sessions, and growth and health monitoring integrated into the basic primary care package, to participants living in communities in the intervention group. Participants living in the control group communities will receive the nutrition supplement for one year following the study.

Mothers Understand And Can do it - Mid Upper Arm Circumference Screening for Malnutrition Performed...

MarasmusKwashiorkor3 more

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE : To determine whether mothers, given minimal group training, are capable of using a MUAC (mid-upper arm circumference) bracelet to screen their children for malnutrition and categorise them into one of three groups : 'red' (SAM ; severe acute malnutrition), 'yellow' (MAM ; moderate acute malnutrition) or 'green' (normal nutritional status) SECONDARY OBJECTIVES : To establish whether there is a difference in the MUAC value if measured on the right arm as opposed to the left, in young children To determine whether there is a difference in the MUAC value if the mid upper arm position is determined visually as opposed to being measured in the 'classical' fashion

Maternal Determinants of HIV-exposed and HIV-unexposed Fetal Growth, Birth Outcomes and Early Infant...

HIVPregnancy2 more

The purpose of this study is to understand how differences in the nutritional status and concentration of hormones and cytokines associated with cachexia in HIV+ and HIV- pregnant women living in a semi-rural and rural region of northern Tanzania affect fetal growth, pregnancy outcomes and early infant health and development. The study hypothesis is that HIV+ women will have worse nutritional status and a greater degree of cachexia which will negatively impact fetal growth, pregnancy outcomes and early infancy health and development.

Study of the Environmental Factors Modulating Children Immune Response in Northern Senegal

Whooping CoughMalaria1 more

Longitudinal survey in Northern Senegal to investigate the environmental factors modulating the immune response to childhood vaccines and to malaria. A cohort of 410 children aged 1 to 10 from 5 villages of the Senegal River Valley(Podor District) was followed-up for 18 months. During that period, 5 visits have been made to the villages to assess the immunological and nutritional status of the children.

A Dangerous Triad in Ageing and in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) - Reduced Muscle...

Pulmonary DiseaseChronic Obstructive

The investigators have taken part in the development of simple muscle function tests and studied physical training and energy turnover in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, COPD. The investigators have found that muscle wasting in COPD is related to poor prognosis and that physical training might lead to improved, less energy-demanding muscle function. Elderly subjects also suffer from muscle wasting that leads to frailty, poor autonomy and, secondarily, fractures. In the planned study the investigators will validate simple muscle function tests (hand grip strength, heel rise test, voluntary quadriceps muscle strength, 30 m walking test and balance tests) in both groups by relating them to an involuntary, magnet stimulated, test of quadriceps force, HRQL, tests of body composition (impedance, DXA) and recordings of physical activity. The relation between food intake, systemic inflammation, muscle mass and function will be analysed. The study has been ethically approved and started in COPD patients and will be expanded to a representative sample of elderly. Simple, evaluated muscle function tests applied in primary care may be used for early detection of muscle dysfunction in COPD patients and elderly so that early intervention against impaired muscle function can be started. Analyses of food intake and of inflammatory markers might identify factors of special importance for muscle dysfunction, which eventually might lead to improved dietary therapy and pharmacological interventions.
