In this study, we have investigated the validation of the MUST test in hospital settings. Methods: A total of 252 patients hospitalized in medical or surgical wards were included for the study. All the patients underwent comprehensive geriatric assessment. Nutritional status of the patients was evaluated by two geriatricians experienced in malnutrition. There was very good agreement between them (kappa = 0.85). The patients were also evaluated by using MUST test for nutritional status by a different clinician blinded to the decisions of the geriatricians for the nutritional status of the patients. Nutritional status of the patients according to the MUST and the geriatrician decision was compared with Cohen’s kappa analysis. Also, the sensitivity and specificity results of the MUST test for the malnutrition were evaluated. Results: The mean age of the patients was 59,55 ± 15,93 years and 56% of them were female. The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive and negative predictive values of the MUST test for detecting malnutrition in hospital settings were 73%, 92%, 85% and 85%, respectively. Test results were more sensitive in patients under 65 age, but more specific in geriatric population. When compared between medical and surgery wards, test was both more sensitive (77%) and specific(96%) in surgery ward. Conclusion: This study showed that the Turkish version of the MUST test is validated for inpatients. Disclosure of Interest: None declared.
MON-P170 IS EXAMINATION PERIOD RELATED WITH INCREASED CAFFEINE INTAKE AMONG UNIVERSITY STUDENTS? A CROSS SECTIONAL STUDY M. M. Tengilimoglu Metin1 *, D. Gumus1, S. Sevim1, G. G. Topal1, M. Kizil1. 1Hacettepe University, Ankara, Turkey Rationale: University students are exposed to stress due to their daily academic load. Due to work and projects, university students commonly have academic stress. Caffeinated stimulants are broadly regarded as helping students stay focused and alert to improve their academic performance, especially examination period. Hence, the aim of this study was to compare the non-examination and examination period caffeine intake and depression Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted on 103 male and 227 female university students aged 18–30 years. In nonexamination and examination period, caffeine intake data was collected using caffeine consumption questionnaire and
S241 depression was determined by Beck Depression Scale. Beck depression scores were classified as minimal, mild, moderate, and several depression. The differences of caffeine intake and Beck Depression Score in non-examination and examination period were examined by paired t test Results: Our subjects consisted of a total of 68.8% females and 31.2% males. The mean beck depression score of female and male were found 12.0 ± 10.0, 8.6 ± 8.9 in the examination period and were found 6.4 ± 6.4, 5.3 ± 5.1 in non-examination period, respectively ( p < 0.01). For female and male, the quantity of daily caffeine consumption was found 323.1 and 307.2 mg in examination period, respectively, however, average daily caffeine consumption was found as 186.8 and 242.2 mg, respectively ( p < 0.05). Major contributors to caffeine intake among students were black tea, Nescafe, herbal tea, green tea, Turkish coffee, ice tea and milk with chocolate, respectively. Caffeine consumption was shown to have a positive relationship with beck depression score and beck depression score was found to be higher in those with a higher caffeine intake ( p < 0.01). Conclusion: In examination period, university students tend to increase their caffeine consumption in order to manage academic stress. Disclosure of Interest: None declared.
MON-P171 CHANGES IN SLEEP DURATION ASSOCIATED WITH NUTRITIONAL STATUS AND APPETITE IN ELDERLY N. Acar Tek1, M. S. Karacil Ermumcu1 *. 1Nutrition and Dietetics, Gazi University Faculty of Health Sciences, Ankara, Turkey Rationale: The aim of the present study was to examine the association between nutritional status with appetite and changes in sleep duration in older adults. Methods: This is a cross-sectional population-based study was conducted at 142 men and 265 women totally 407 elderly aged ≥ 60 years. Questionnaire including the demographic characteristics, health information, sleep duration, Mini Nutrition Assessment (MNA), Mini Nutrition Assessment-Short Form (MNA-SF) and Simplified Nutritional Appetite Questionnaire (SNAQ) was performed by face-to-face interviews. Statistical analysis was performed with version 16 SPSS. Results: A total of 407 home dwelling elderly individuals were interviewed (142 men and 265 women) with a mean age of men and women 72.8 ± 6.67 years; 71.1 ± 6.41 years respectively ( p < 0.05). The mean night sleep duration (hour/day) of women and men 7.9 ± 1.72 and 7.9 ± 1.72 hours respectively and the mean daytime sleep duration (hour/day) of women and men 1.0 ± 1.19 and 0.9 ± 1.18 hours respectively. There isn’t any significant differences between daytime and night sleep duration between groups ( p > 0.05). When we determinated the association between sleep duration with nutritional status and appetite we found that there is negative correlation between daytime sleep duration with MNA-SF (r:−0.236; p:0.000), MNA (r:−0.250; p:0.000), and SNAQ (r:−0.133; p:0.000), scores. But there is a positive association between night sleep duration and MNA-SF (r:0.098; p:0.048) scores. Conclusion: Better nutritional status and appetite was associated with changes in sleep duration. Disclosure of Interest: None declared.
