ABSTRACT

Introduction: in Cuba there is a significant degree of population aging.
Objective: to describe the general characteristics of the nutritional status of elderly people diagnosed with hernia of the abdominal wall, who were assisted in a General Surgery consult of "Leopoldito Martínez" Hospital.
Methods: a descriptive, exploratory, analytical and cross-sectional study was performed. The population consisted of 69 elders all between 70-99 years of age who were not institutionalized. They were divided into three age groups, 70-79 years, 80-89 years and 90-99 years of age. The nutritional status was characterized by applying the nutritional survey, measuring of anthropometric parameters and hemochemical variables.
Results: the male sex predominated, accounting for 68.11 % (47). The predominant group was 70-79 years old. The Pearson's correlation between the body mass index and arm circumference was 0.88; and between the first and the arm fat area of 0.83. According to the body mass index the greater number of elderly was overweight. The hemochemical variables were in physiological numbers in most of the elderly. The nutritional survey ranked the most at risk of malnutrition.
Conclusions: the anthropometric variables were significantly associated and show that the population has an elevated energetic reserve. The Mini Nutritional Assessment detects the risk of malnutrition before changes in body compartments are established, detectable by anthropometric techniques.
