Abstract

Objectives: to assess some common geriatric syndromes and their relationship with nutritional status in elderly patients with mild cognitive impairment. Subjects and methods: Cross-sectional descriptive study on 68 patients ³ 60 years old diagnosed with mild cognitive impairment examined and treated at the National Geriatric Hospital from June to November 2021. Results: The proportion of patients with malnutrition and the risk of malnutrition were 16.2% and 57.4%, respectively. The proportion of polypharmacy was 57.4%. The dependency rate of functional activities according to IADL was 91.2% and according to the Barthel index was 66.1%. The proportion of patients with depression, sleep disorders, and high risk of falling were 79.4%; 88.2%, and 76.5%. Urinary incontinence accounted for the lowest rate of 14.7%. Multivariable regression analysis showed that osteoarthritis (OR=0.174) and depression (OR=6.771) had a statistically significant association with malnutrition/risk of malnutrition. Conclusion: The rate of geriatric syndromes was very high, in which depression was associated with malnutrition/risk of malnutrition in the study population.
