Abstract

A cross sectional study was conducted to determine the prevalence of malnutrition assessed using 7- point scale Subjective Global Assessment (SGA ) and its relationship with socio-demographic, health status, anthropornetry, biochemicaIs and dietary intake. A total of 80 subjects were recruited from three haemodialysis centres in Seri Kembangan, Selangor. A set of interviewer-administered questionnaire was used to obtain the socio-demographic and health status data. Weight, height, Mid Upper Arm Circumference (MUAC), body fat percentage was measured affer the dialysis session. Biochemical data including serum creatinine, calcium, phosphate: albumin, total protein, alkaline phosphatase (ALP), serum electrolytes, lipid protile, haemoglobin (Hb), total iron binding capacity (TIBC) and transferin were obtained from the medical reports. The dietary intake was assessed using 24-hour dietary recall. The 7-point scale SGA classified the subjects into well nourished, moderately malnourished and severely malnourished category. Subjects comprised of49% rnale and 51% females with a mean age of 54.1±13.1 year old. Majority of the suhjects were Malay (86%), followed by Indian (8%) and Chinese (6%). Fifty-six percent of the subjects were modetately malnourished and 44% were well nourished. Mean Body Mass Index (BMI) and energy intake of the subjects were 25.7±5.0 kg/m² and 17.4±7.8 kcal/kg/day respectively. The 7-point scale SGA showed significant correlation with BMI (r=-0.49, p<0.001), MUAC (r=0.52, p<0.001), total body fat (r=0.36, p<0.001), percentage of body fat(r=0.37, p<0.001), serum creatinine (r=0.33, p<0.001). total protein (r=0.23, p=0.04) and ALP (r=-0.23, p=0.04). There were no significant correlation between socio-demographic, health status and dietary intake with the 7- point scale SGA. The use of 7-point scale SGA was able to determine the prevalence of malnutrition among the haemodialysis patients. A longitudinal study is required to further determine the mechanism between the associated factors and malnutrition.
