The Nutritional Health for the Elderly Reference Centre Study (NHERC Study) (NHERC)
2020年4月13日 更新者：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.

详细说明
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.

研究人群
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.
