The Nutritional Health for the Elderly Reference Centre Study (NHERC Study) (NHERC)
13. april 2020 opdateret af: Abbott Nutrition
Establishing Reference Range for Community-dwelling Elderly Nutrition
Elderly are at greater risk of dietary insufficiency due to age-related increases in nutrient requirements concomitant with a reduction in energy requirements, decreases in appetite and energy intake.
Currently there is a gap in knowledge of the factors that are associated with malnutrition in the elderly in Singapore.
In addition, there is no "reference" database on anthropometric measurements and biochemical indices for elderly with a range of nutrition status in Singapore.
Thus, the objectives of this cross-sectional study are to examine factors influencing nutritional status and to determine the reference values for anthropometric and biochemical measurements related to nutritional status for community-dwelling elderly in Singapore.

Detaljeret beskrivelse
This is a cross-sectional study.
Measurements will be taken at baseline for elderly with normal nutrition (n = 400) and elderly who are at risk of under nutrition (n = 800)..
These measurements will be used to examine factors influencing nutritional status and to create a "reference" database for anthropometric and biochemical measurements related to nutritional status for use in clinical practice.

Studiebefolkning
This cross-sectional study will include 400 elderly with normal nutrition (MUST score: 0) and 800 elderly who are at risk of undernutrition (MUST score ≥ 1).
Community-dwelling elderly recently discharged from the hospital as well as those who recently visited polyclinics in Singapore will be recruited for the study.
Beskrivelse
Inclusion Criteria:
- Male or female participant aged ≥65 years.

- Participant is being discharged home directly (applicable for hospital cohort).
- Participant is community ambulant with or without aid.
- Participant does not have any chronic disease(s) or has stable chronic disease(s) including hypertension, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and cardiovascular disease in the opinion of the Study Physician, at study entry.
- Participant has voluntarily signed and dated an informed consent form (ICF), approved by an Institutional Review Board (IRB) and provided authorization prior to any participation in the study.
- Participants will be able to communicate and follow instructions.
- Participant is able to consume food and beverages orally.
Exclusion Criteria:
- Participant has been diagnosed with dementia according to medical records.
- Participant has been diagnosed with type 1 or type 2 diabetes according to medical records. (Note: This includes participant with controlled diabetes.)
- Participant has any active infectious disease (such as tuberculosis, Hepatitis B or C, HIV infection) according to medical records.
- Participant has been diagnosed with severe gastrointestinal disorders including celiac disease, short bowel syndrome, pancreatic insufficiency, or cystic fibrosis according to medical records.
- Participant has been diagnosed with end stage organ or pre-terminal diseases or acute myocardial infarction within the last 30 days from the screening according to medical records.
- Participant has malignancy according to medical records.
- Participant has any other clinically significant medical condition, which in the investigator's opinion, makes him or her unsuitable for inclusion in the study.
