          Abstract

          Antecedentes: La desnutrición y la depresión son trastornos geriátricos comunes. Nuestro objetivo fue determinar la prevalencia de desnutrición y depresión en adultos mayores, así como evaluar su asociación. Métodos: Estudio transversal que se realizó en población geriátrica de la consulta externa de un Hospital Público de referencia de Alta Especialidad de la Ciudad de México. El estado nutricional se clasifico mediante la Evaluación Mínima Nutricional (MNA), el Índice de Quetelet se clasificó acorde a la Organización Mundial para la Salud. La depresión se evaluó mediante la Escala de Depresión Geriátrica (GDS). La funcionalidad se obtuvo mediante el Índice de Katz. Las diferencias entre grupos se analizaron usando la prueba de Chi cuadrada y t-student. La asociación entre el MNA y GDS, así como la determinación de factores predictores para desnutrición se analizó usando análisis multivariado y se determinó la razón de momios (RM). Resultados: 96 pacientes de > 65 años fueron evaluados, 79,2% fueron mujeres. El 15,5% de la población se clasifico con adecuado estado nutricional, el 72,2% con riesgo de desnutrición y 11,3% con desnutrición. La prevalencia de depresión fue de 63,9%. El análisis de regresión múltiple reveló que la depresión y el sexo masculino son factores predictores independientes de desnutrición. La depresión se asoció positivamente con desnutrición en RM 2,4 (IC 95% 0,79-7,38). Para los individuos del sexo masculino la RM para desnutrición fue de 1,42 (IC 95% 1,0-2,0). Conclusión: La depresión y el sexo masculino están fuertemente asociados con el riesgo de desnutrición en los adultos mayores.

          Background: Malnutrition and depression are common geriatric disorders. The aim of this study was determined the prevalence of malnutrition and depression in the elderly, as well as assess the association between depression and malnutrition. Methods: A cross-sectional study was done with elderly of external consult in a Public Specialized Hospital of México City. The nutritional status was classified by the Mini Nutritional Assessment (MNA) and Quetelet´s Index was categorized according to The World Health Organization. Depression was assessed using the Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS). The functional autonomy indicators were obtained by Katz Index. Differences between groups were analyzed using the Chisquare test and t-test. The associations between the MNA and GDS and determination of risk factors for malnutrition were analyzed using multivariate analysis and the odds ratio (OR) estimates were determined. Results: 96 patients were included, 79.2 female; 15.5% were classified as adequate nutritional status, 72.2% were classified as being at risk of malnutrition and 11.3% as malnourished. The prevalence of depression was reported by 63.9%. Multiple logistic regression analysis revealed that depression and male sex are independent predictors of malnutrition. Depression was positively associated with the risk of malnutrition OR 2.4 (95% CI 0.79-7.38). For individuals male the OR for malnutrition was 1.42 (95% CI 1.0-2.0). Conclusion: Depression and male sex was associated with the risk of malnutrition in the elderly.

          The short form of the Geriatric Depression Scale: a comparison with the 30-item form.

          The Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS) exists in both short and long forms. The original 30-item form of the GDS has been shown to be an effective screening test for depression in a variety of settings. However, its utility in patients with dementia of the Alzheimer type (DAT) is questionable. The short, 15-item version of the GDS was developed primarily for brevity and, in particular, for use in populations such as the medically ill or those with dementia, where the longer form might be burdensome. How well this short form works in these populations, however, is largely undetermined. In this paper, the sensitivity and specificity of the 15- and 30-item GDS are compared in a group of patients who were either cognitively intact or had mild DAT. The findings suggest that the short version of the GDS, like its longer predecessor, is an effective screening tool in the cognitively intact. However, in a population of subjects with mild DAT, it does not appear to retain its validity.

            The criterion validity of the Geriatric Depression Scale: a systematic review.

            The objective was to provide a systematic review of the screening accuracy of both versions of the Geriatric Depressions Scale (GDS-30, GDS-15). An electronic search was performed by using Medline, Embase, Cinahl, Psyndex and the Cochrane library. The selection and examination of papers were performed by two reviewers independently. Among the 42 papers included, important methodological aspects such as sampling methods or blinding of research workers often were not reported. For both GDS versions, similar validity indices were found (GDS-30: sensitivity 0.753, specificity 0.770; GDS-15: sensitivity 0.805, specificity 0.750). Using comparative studies based on the identical samples, both GDS versions showed significantly better validity indices than the 'Yale-1-question' screen, but were similar to the 'Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression scale' (CES-D). The GDS does not show a better criterion validity than the CES-D, but methodological limitations of primary studies hamper the generalizability of pooled analyses.

              Epidemiology of depression in primary care.

              Major depressive disorder has been recently found to be associated with high medical utilization and more functional impairment than most chronic medical illnesses. Major depression is a common illness among persons in the community, in ambulatory medical clinics, and in inpatient medical care. Studies have estimated that major depression occurs in 2%-4% of persons in the community, in 5%-10% of primary care patients, and 10%-14% of medical inpatients. In each setting there are two to three times as many persons with depressive symptoms that fall short of major depression criteria. Recent studies have found that in one-third to one-half of patients with major depression, the symptoms persist over a 6-month to one-year period. The majority of longitudinal studies have determined that severity of initial depressive symptoms and the presence of a comorbid medical illness were predictors of persistence of depression.
