GRADE INSUFFICIENCY FOOD AT PATIENTS WITH CHRONIC OBSTRUCTIVE PULMONARY DISEASE AND NUTRITIONAL SUPPORT OPPORTUNITIES

Abstract

MINI Nutrition Assessment scale (MNA) was used to estimate nutrition in 105 senior patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, which showed malnutrition signs in 42.5% of CUPD patients, and 33.3% of patients needed nutritional support. Malnutrition in CUPD patients is a multifactor and nutritional factor plays the important role, which are characterized in third of CUPD patients by deficiency of proteins, fruits, vegetables and fluid intake. 6.7% of CUPD patients have difficulties in having food because of intensifying of dyspnea. CUPD patients overestimate their nutritional status and health condition. Administration of nutrients in CUPD complex therapy results with significant restorative and anabolic effect, increases physical tolerance and improves quality of life.
