ABSTRAK
Risiko jatuh yang meningkat mengakibatkan
kecederaan dan ketidakfungsian di kalangan warga tua. Oleh itu, kajian ini bertujuan
untuk menentukan prevalens jatuh dan hubungannya dengan status pemakanan di
kalangan 143 pesakit warga tua dari wad perubatan dan klinik pesakit luar di
Hospital Kuala Lumpur. Pengukuran antropometri diambil dan status kesihatan
tulang dinilai dengan ultrabunyi kuantitatif (QUS). Sejarah jatuh, status
fungsian dan pengambilan makanan berdasarkan sejarah diet turut dicerap dengan
menggunakan borang soal-selidik melalui temuduga bersemuka dengan subjek. Data
dianalisis dengan menggunakan SPSS versi 16.0 dan Foodworks. Prevalens jatuh
(pernah jatuh sekurangkurangnya sekali sepanjang setahun yang lepas) dalam
kajian ini adalah 32.9%. Prevalens jatuh bagi subjek perempuan (40.2%) adalah
lebih tinggi berbanding lelaki (17.4%)(p<0.01). Subjek perempuan dengan
pengambilan kalsium kurang daripada 300 mg/h (adjusted OR = 3.07, 95% CI =
1.02-9.25) dan protein tidak mencapai 1 g/kg berat badan (adjusted OR = 3.68,
95% CI = 0.98-13.84) meningkatkan risiko jatuh. Secara keseluruhan, satu
pertiga daripada subjek kajian pernah jatuh, terutamanya di kalangan wanita.
Program intervensi pemakanan dan kesihatan harus dilakukan ke atas pesakit
warga tua yang mempunyai pengambilan kalsium kurang daripada 300 mg/hari dan
pengambilan protein kurang daripada 1 g/kg berat badan bagi mengurangkan risiko
jatuh dan komorbiditi akibat jatuh.

ABSTRACT
Rising risk of falls has been associated with
injury and dysfunction among the elderly. Therefore, this study was conducted to
determine the prevalence of falls and association with nutritional status among
143 elderly patients from medical ward and clinic in Hospital Kuala Lumpur. Anthropometric
indicators and bone health status using quantitative ultrasound (QUS) were also
assessed. History of falls, functional status and dietary intake based on
dietary history was assessed through questionnaire which was administered by
face-to-face interview with the subjects. Data were analyzed using SPSS
software version 16.0 and Food works. The past-year prevalence of falls (falls
at least once in the previous 12 months) in this study was 32.9%. The past year
prevalence of falls in women (40.2%) was higher than in men (17.4%) (p<0.01).
Women who had calcium intake less than 300 mg/d (adjusted OR = 3.07, 95% CI =
1.02-9.24) and protein intake < 1 g/kg body weight (adjusted OR = 3.68, 95%
CI = 0.98-13.84) were more likely to have a higher risk of falls. In conclusion,
one third of the subjects, especially women in this study had a history of
falls. Elderly people should be assessed for calcium and protein intake and
those with calcium intake less than 300 mg/day and protein intake less than 1
g/kg body weight should be given intervention to reduce falls risk factor and
subsequent fall-related co-morbidity.
