目标
恶性通货膨胀始于1992年初的前苏联。本文介绍了与营养状况的因素，这一年在老年退休人员。
方法
在八个城市中的每一个城市随机挑选了大约300名养恤金领取者。1992年6月至12月期间，对饮食、体重、健康状况以及社会和经济状况进行了调查。本文报告了2281份完成的问卷。
结果
一半的养老金领取者报告说，他们在过去6个月里减掉了5公斤或更多; 57%的人没有足够的钱购买食物，39%的人需要他们负担不起的药物。40%的人每周吃肉不到半公斤，50%的人每周吃水果不到半公斤，三分之一的人每周吃牛奶不到一升，三分之一的人每周吃面包不到2公斤。体重减轻与没有足够的钱购买食物、无力负担药物以及一日三餐不足密切相关。与此同时，俄罗斯的死亡率大幅上升。
结论
这些调查的结果表明，1992年下半年，许多老年养恤金领取人营养严重不足。
OBJECTIVES
Hyperinflation began in early 1992 in the former Soviet Union. This paper describes factors associated with nutritional status that year among elderly pensioners.
METHODS
Approximately 300 pensioners were selected randomly in each of eight cities. Surveys of diet, weight, health status, and social and economic conditions were done between June and December 1992. This paper reports on 2281 completed questionnaires.
RESULTS
Half the pensioners reported that they had lost 5 or more kilograms in the prior 6 months; 57% did not have enough money to buy food, and 39% needed medicines they could not afford. Forty percent consumed less than a half kilogram of meat, 50% consumed less than a half kilogram of fruit, a third consumed less than a liter of milk, and a third consumed less than 2 kg of bread per week. Weight loss was strongly associated with not having enough money to buy food, and inability to afford medication, and consumption of fewer than three meals a day. Concurrent with these conditions, there was a large increase in mortality in Russia.
CONCLUSIONS
The results of these surveys suggest that many elderly pensioners were experiencing severe nutritional deprivation in the latter half of 1992.
