ABSTRACT
Background:
Malnutrition impairs quality of life and prognosis of patients with cardiovascular disease. The Mini Nutritional Assessment (MNA) is a screening tool developed for the nutritional assessment of older adults. However, usefulness of MNA for patients undergoing cardiac rehabilitation (CR) has not been fully investigated.Methods:
From March 2017 to September 2019, the MNA-short form (MNA-SF) and the MNA total score in patients undergoing phase II CR at the Juntendo University Hospital were evaluated.Results:
A total of 336 patients (mean age 70.1 ± 11.4 years; males 209) were analyzed. In the MNA-SF, 157 patients (47%) were found to be malnourished or at risk of malnutrition. In MNA total score, 168 patients (50%) were found to be malnourished or at risk of malnutrition. The MNA-SF < 12 group had significantly lower body mass index (BMI), hemoglobin level, low MNA scores for protein/water intake, self-evaluation of nutrition and health, and upper arm and calf circumferences compared to the MNA-SF ≥ 12 group. Assuming BMI < 18.5 as malnutrition, the sensitivity and specificity for malnutrition were 100% and 58.9% for MNA-SF, and 96.9% and 54.9% for MNA total score, respectively.Conclusions:
MNA is useful in screening for malnutrition in patients undergoing CR. Approximately 50% of them were determined to be malnourished or at risk of malnutrition, suggesting the need for detailed evaluation regarding their food intake and dietary intervention.
