摘要
目的探讨评估长期卧床的80岁以上老人营养状况的简便、有效的方法。方法采集22例卧床时间〉1年的80岁以上患者的空腹静脉血，检测白蛋白和血红蛋白水平，并采用JAMAR握力器分别测试其左、右手的握力。结果本组高龄老年人左、右手握力与白蛋白水平均呈正相关（r=0．439，r=0．424，P〈0．05），与年龄和血红蛋白无相关性。结论长期卧床的高龄患者握力与其营养状态有显著相关性，可采用握力测试其营养状态。
Objective To study the association between grip strength and nutritional status in bedridden patients aged more than 80 years old. Methods The venous blood among twenty-two older than 80 years patients who were bed-ridden for more than 1 year were collected and the serum albumin and hemoglobin were analyzed. The left and right hand grip strength were tested with JAMAR Hand Dynamometer. Results Handgrip strength was positively correlated with serum albumin （ r = 0. 439 and 0. 424, P 〈 0. 05 ）. Pearson correlation showed that age and hemoglobin were significant independent predictors of hand-grip strength. Conclusions Hand-grip strength was positively correlated with nutritional status in bed-ridden elderly patients, as a result the hand-grip strength can evaluate the nutritional status.
