每个人都同意,充足的营养摄入对所有生物都很重要。没有食物和水,地球上的生命将不复存在。在医疗健康领域,在满足孕产妇和儿童营养需求方面取得了一些进展。社区对满足发育中的胎儿和儿童的营养需求的重要性有了很高的认识。老年人摄入量减少和体重减轻导致的营养不良也是一个严重问题,不幸的是,整个社区很少注意到这一问题。随着年龄的增长,一些生理过程可能会导致蛋白质能量营养不良的发展。令人遗憾的是,即使在发达国家,老年人营养不良也太普遍了。很可能需要采取解决儿童营养不良问题的同样协调一致的努力,来解决我们老年人的营养不良问题。老年人的蛋白质能量营养不良给个人、家庭、社区和医疗保健系统带来了巨大的代价。不解决这一综合症不仅是不道德和不健康的,而且代价高昂。保持警惕和社区意识对于确保发现和适当管理这一重要综合征非常重要。这篇综述主要试图描述营养不良的病理生理学、患病率和后果,旨在强调这种临床综合征的重要性,以及我们对其发展过程的理解最近的增长。并简要介绍了一些管理策略。
Everyone agrees that adequate nutrient intake is important to all living things. Without food or water, life on earth would cease to exist. In the field of medical health, some gains have been made in meeting maternal and child nutritional needs. There is great community awareness regarding the importance of meeting the nutritional needs of the developing foetus and child. Malnutrition secondary to decreased intake in older people and weight loss is also a serious problem with unfortunately, very little notice from the community at large. As one ages, several physiological processes may contribute towards the development of protein energy malnutrition. Under-nutrition in older people is sadly far too common, even in developed countries. It is very likely that the same concerted effort used to address child malnutrition is required to combat under-nutrition in our elders. Protein energy malnutrition in older people comes at a significant cost to the individual, families, communities and the healthcare system. Failure to address this syndrome is not only unethical and unhealthy, but also costly. Vigilance and community awareness is important in ensuring that this important syndrome is detected and managed appropriately. This review mainly attempts to describe the pathophysiology, prevalence and consequences of under-nutrition and aims to highlight the importance of this clinical syndrome and the recent growth in our understanding of the processes behind its development. Some management strategies are also briefly described.
