The research entitled “NUTRITIONAL STATE ASSESSMENT AND ASSOCIATED FACTORS IN OLDER ADULTS” aimed to evaluate the nutritional status and associated factors among older adults in the Huachi Grande parish. Its objectives were to identify nutritional status through anthropometric indicators, determine the association between cognitive and emotional factors with nutritional status and assess the influence of economic level. A quantitative, cross-sectional study was conducted with a sample of 40 participants. The assessment included BMI, the application of the MNA and the measurement of calf and arm circumference. Instruments such as the Pfeiffer questionnaire (cognitive impairment), Yesavage scale (depression), and Graffar scale (economic level). The results showed a risk of malnutrition in both genders, with a higher proportion in women. Regarding associated factors, 42.5% of participants did not present depression and 25.0% presented established depression, showing a heterogeneous distribution across nutritional status categories. Concerning cognitive impairment, normal nutritional status predominated among participants with preserved cognitive function. Regarding socioeconomic level, 15.0% presented malnutrition and 10.0% showed normal nutritional status, with risk predominating in the lower-middle socioeconomic class. It is concluded that nutritional assessment in older adults is essential to identify the risk of malnutrition and to strengthen strategies aimed at improving their quality of life.

Alzheimer's disease is a growing neurodegenerative condition for the aging population worldwide, and is one of the most common forms of dementia; where nutritional status plays an important role in the prevention and management of this pathology. The objective of this research is to review the latest updates on nutritional strategies in patients with Alzheimer's disease. A systematic review of the scientific literature was conducted. Updated studies that provided nutritional knowledge as strategies in the management of patients with Alzheimer's and recommendations were included. Articles from the last 5 were selected such as: Google Scholar, Elsevier, Sciencedirect, Scielo, Pubmed, Mendeley. Through a database screening of 20 scientific articles, taking into account inclusion and exclusion criteria, 10 high-level evidence investigations were introduced into this study as part of the discussion of nutritional strategies. The consulted research indicates the timely detection of the risk of malnutrition supported by MNA screening, introduction of nutrients in the diet such as antioxidants and antiinflammatories, modification of texture and consistency of foods. Evidence supports that the Mediterranean diet and DASH are more effective for their neuroprotective benefits in Alzheimer's disease.

Introduction: The epidemiological profile associated with frailty syndrome aims to inform to health professionals about the parameters which should be considered for a correct clinical assessment. Hence, the clinical patient can count on an early treatment, which could suppress adverse health events such as: disability, increased morbidity, mortality, dependence and falls. Therefore, the patient's quality of life will improve and functional deterioration will decrease. Objective: To draw up an frailty syndrome's epidemiological profile in elderly people based on information collected at the San Miguelito's Health Centre located in Píllaro - Ecuador. Methods: The data collection instrument will correspond to three phases, the first one seeks the recognition of the area of influence of the study, in this case is the canton Santiago de Píllaro, the second phase will concern the coverage of the study subjects by sociodemographic and age particularities, finally, to establish the instrument is a priority to validate through the pathological features determined by the authors cited. This information is derived from the Ministry of Public Health (MSP), through the clinical histories of the patients. In addition to this, descriptive statistics were used, as well as measures of central tendency, with the purpose of explaining how the different aspects interact by means of cross tables elaborated in spreadsheets. Results: Frailty is associated with age around 75.72 years with an standard deviation of 7.16. On the other hand, the diseases with the highest presence per case study are sarcopenia (22.75% - 78.17 years), Hypertension (22.10% - 76.80 years), Diabetes (10.065% - 76.54 years), Anaemia (9.63 - 79.61 years) and Depression (6.37 - 78.83 years).
