Objective
To contribute to the validation of the revised BMI-MNA-SF and CC- MNA-SF with regard to association and agreement with the full-MNA, considered as gold standard, in nursing homes in Spain.Design
Prospective analysis.Setting
Nursing homes.Participants
Eight hundred ninety five subjects aged 65 or older meeting inclusion criteria.Measurements
Correlation, diagnostic accuracy and agreement between the revised MNA short forms and the MNA full form.Results
The MNA-SFs correlated strongly with the full MNA version (Pearson’s correlation coefficient r=0.904; p<0.001). High values of sensitivity, specificity and predictive values were obtained for the BMI- MNA-SF and CC-MNA-SF against the full-MNA when the dichotomized categorizations “malnourished-at risk of malnutrition” vs “well nourished” and “malnourished” vs “at risk of malnutrition-well nourished” were considered (Youden’s index at least 0.695 in all cases). Areas under the ROC curves also reached high values (BMI-SF: 0.950 and CC-SF: 0.923 for the first categorization; BMI-SF: 0.979 and CC-SF: 0.978 for the second one) showing both tests excellent accuracy with the full-MNA. The agreement between the MNA-SFs and the full-MNA was quantified as the percentage of correct classifications. The BMI-MNA-SF classified 83.80% correctly and the CC-MNA-SF classified 78.55% correctly. Significant proportions of subjects were underestimated by both MNA-SFs. Just about 6% of overestimations were found in both cases.Conclusion
The revised BMI-MNA-SF and CC-MNA-SF are rapid, easy and reliable tools capable to identify malnourished individuals and those who are at risk of malnutrition with minimal misclassifications with potential harm in nursing home residents. Due to the special characteristics of elderly staying in these institutions, the CC-MNA-SF is a good option to replace the BMI-MNA-SF when BMI is not available. 相似文献2.

Objectives
The aims of this study were to: (1) determine the prevalence of undemutrition and frailty in hospitalised elderly patients and (2) evaluate the efficacy of both the Mini-Nutritional Assessment (MNA) screening tool and the MNA short form (MNA-SF) in identifying frailty.Setting and Participants
A convenient sample of 100 consecutive patients (75.0 % female) admitted to the Geriatric Evaluation and Management Unit (GEMU) at The Queen Elizabeth Hospital in South Australia.Measurements
Frailty status was determined using Fried??s frailty criteria and nutritional status by the MNA and MNA-SF. Optimal cut-off scores to predict frailty were determined by Youden??s Index, Receiver Operator Curves (ROC) and area under curve (AUC).Results
Undernutrition was common. Using the MNA, 40.0% of patients were malnourished and 44.0% were at risk of malnutrition. By Fried??s classification, 66.0 % were frail, 30.0 % were pre-frail and 4.0 % robust. The MNA had a specificity of 0.912 and a sensitivity of 0.516 in predicting frailty using the recommended cut-off for malnourishment (< 17). The optimal MNA cut-off for frailty screening was <17.5 with a specificity of 0.912 and sensitivity of 0.591. The MNA-SF predicted frailty with specificity and sensitivity values of 0.794 and 0.636 respectively, using the standard cut-off of < 8. The optimal MNA-SF cut-off score for frailty was < 9, with specificity and sensitivity values of 0.765 and 0.803 respectively and was better than the optimum MNA cut-off in predicting frailty (Youden Index 0.568 vs. 0.503).Conclusion
The quickly and easily administered MNA-SF appears to be a good tool for predicting both under-nutrition and frailty in elderly hospitalised people. Further studies would show whether the MNA-SF could also detect frailty in other populations of older people. 相似文献3.

Objective
To validate a revision of the Mini Nutritional Assessment short-form (MNA®-SF) against the full MNA, a standard tool for nutritional evaluation.Methods
A literature search identified studies that used the MNA for nutritional screening in geriatric patients. The contacted authors submitted original datasets that were merged into a single database. Various combinations of the questions on the current MNA-SF were tested using this database through combination analysis and ROC based derivation of classification thresholds.Results
Twenty-seven datasets (n=6257 participants) were initially processed from which twelve were used in the current analysis on a sample of 2032 study participants (mean age 82.3y) with complete information on all MNA items. The original MNA-SF was a combination of six questions from the full MNA. A revised MNA-SF included calf circumference (CC) substituted for BMI performed equally well. A revised three-category scoring classification for this revised MNA-SF, using BMI and/or CC, had good sensitivity compared to the full MNA.Conclusion
The newly revised MNA-SF is a valid nutritional screening tool applicable to geriatric health care professionals with the option of using CC when BMI cannot be calculated. This revised MNA-SF increases the applicability of this rapid screening tool in clinical practice through the inclusion of a “malnourished” category. 相似文献4.
Objective
To assess the usefulness in different populations of elderly people in Poland of both modified versions of Mini Nutritional Assessment Short-Forms (MNA-SFs) with a three-category scoring classification: one using BMI (MNA-SF-BMI) and another using calf circumference (MNA-SF-CC).Setting and Participants
A group of 932 community-dwelling subjects from the urban environment, 812 subjects from the rural environment and 859 subjects from an institutional environment (nursing homes).Measurements
Agreement between both MNA-SFs and the MNA full form. Results: MNA-SF-BMI correctly classified 84.12%, 82.51% and 81.84% of subjects from urban, rural and institutional environment, respectively. For MNA-SF-CC those values were 82.4%, 71.8% and 76.6%, respectively. The sensitivity and specificity of MNA-SF-BMI and MNA-SF-CC against full MNA in screening for “at risk/malnutrition” and “malnutrition” were generally very high, except for relatively lower sensitivity (74.1%) when screening for “malnutrition” with MNA-SF-CC in nursing homes.Conclusion
Both MNA-SFs can be recommended as screening tools in assessing the nutritional state of the community-dwelling and institutionalised elderly in Poland. The full version of the MNA confirmed the results of MNA-SFs in this group. The “classic” MNA-SF using BMI was found to perform better than the MNA-SF-CC. The MNA-SF-CC should be used only when measuring BMI is not possible. While using MNASF-CC in nursing homes, a higher MNA-SF-CC cut-point of eleven should be rather used in this population to screen for “at risk/malnutrition”. 相似文献5.

Objective
A number of other studies have been conducted to verify the Mini Nutritional Assessment (MNA) or the MNA short form (MNA-SF) as a nutritional assessment/screening tool in various clinical settings or communities. However, there are few longitudinal studies using these tools to analyze which factors affect the incidence of deteriorating nutritional status. We tried to identify the factors associated with deterioration of MNA-SF status of nursing home residents during a 2-year period.Methods
Participants were 392 people with a mean age of 84.3 in 12 nursing homes in Japan. The factors associated with deterioration in MNA-SF categories during the study period compared to stable/improved MNA-SF categories were identified.Results
At baseline, 19.9% of the participants were malnourished and 60.2% were at risk of malnutrition, according to the MNA-SF classification. After 2 years, 66.3% participants maintained and 6.1% participants improved their nutritional status according to the MNA-SF classification, while 27.6% showed deterioration in MNA-SF status. Stepwise logistic-regression procedure indicated that basic ADL impairment and hospitalization during the follow-up period were associated with declining MNA-SF status.Conclusions
Poor basic ADL status and hospitalization during the follow-up period were associated with malnutrition and risk of malnutrition as assessed by MNA-SF of nursing homes residents during a 2-year period. 相似文献6.
Objectives
The purpose was to assess the association between neck circumference, dysphagia, and undernutrition in elderly individuals requiring long-term care.Design
Cross-sectional study.Setting
Geriatric health services facilities, acute hospitals, and the community.Participants
Elderly individuals ≥65 years of age with dysphagia or possible dysphagia (N=385).Measurements
Neck circumference, the Dysphagia Severity Scale (DSS) and the Mini Nutritional Assessment Short Form (MNA-SF).Results
Participants included 130 males and 255 females with a mean age (± standard deviation) of 83 ± 8.0 years. Sixty-six were in acute hospitals, 195 were in geriatric health services facilities, and 124 were community-dwelling. The mean neck circumference in males and females was 37.1 ± 3.0 cm and 33.3 ± 3.3 cm, respectively. Based on the DSS, 81 participants were within normal limits, 137 had dysphagia without aspiration, and 167 had dysphagia with aspiration. The MNA-SF revealed that 173 were malnourished, 172 were at risk of malnutrition, and 40 had a normal nutritional status. Neck circumference was not significantly correlated with the DSS (r=?0.080) but was significantly correlated with the MNA-SF (r=0.183) in the Spearman rank correlation analysis. In the logistic regression, neck circumference was not independently associated with the DSS after adjusting for the MNA-SF, the Barthel Index, age, sex, setting, and cerebrovascular disorders. However, the multiple regression analysis showed that neck circumference had an independent effect on the MNA-SF after adjusting for the Barthel Index, age, sex, setting and cerebrovascular disorders.Conclusions
Neck circumference is not associated with dysphagia but with undernutrition in elderly individuals requiring long-term care.7.

Objectives
To analyze if body mass index (BMI) and waist circumference (WC) as measures of nutritional status, and the Mini Nutritional Assessment Short Form (MNA-SF) as a nutritional risk measure are associated with increased risk of incident disability in basic activities of daily living (BADL) in a population based cohort of Spanish older adults.Design
Concurrent cohort study.Setting
Albacete City, Spain.Participants
678 subjects over age 70 from the FRADEA Study (Frailty and Dependence in Albacete).Measurements
BMI, WC and MNA-SF were recorded at the basal visit of the FRADEA Study. Incident disability in BADL was defined as loss of the ability to perform bathing, grooming, dressing, toilet use, or feeding from basal to follow-up visit, using the Barthel index. The association between nutritional status and nutritional risk with incident BADL disability was determined by Kaplan-Meier analysis and logistic regression adjusted for age, sex, basal function, comorbidity, cognitive decline, depression risk and frailty status.Results
Each point less of MNA-SF (OR 1.17, 95%CI 1.04–1.31) and MNA-SF<14 (OR 2.33, 95%CI 1.39–3.89), but not MNA-SF<12 (OR 1.47, 95%CI 0.89–2.42) had a greater adjusted risk of incident disability in BADL. Neither BMI (OR 1.02, 95%CI 0.97–1.06) nor WC (OR 1.01, 95%CI 0.99–1.03) were associated. Weight loss (OR 1.75, 95%CI 1.08–2.83) and mobility impairment (OR 3.35, 95%CI 1.67–6.73) remained as adjusted predictors of incident BADL disability, while anorexia almost reached the significance (OR 1.65, 95%CI 0.94–2.87).Conclusion
Nutritional risk measured with the MNA-SF is associated with incident disability in BADL in older adults, while nutritional status measured with BMI or WC is not. 相似文献8.

Objective
The aim of this study was to determine the diagnostic accuracy of the CC-SF, which was developed to use calf circumference (CC) instead of BMI in the MNA-SF, for elderly people living in the community and in nursing homes. It also aimed separately to determine the correlation of CC-SF and BMI-SF with the full MNA.Study Design and Methods
The study included 640 elderly people living in their community and 243 elderly people living in nursing homes. Accuracy was assessed by determining the sensitivity and selectivity of the nutritional assessments. The correlations between the MNA-SFs and the full MNA were analyzed.Results
The correlation between MNA-SFs and full MNAs was strong, significant and almost identical both in the community and in nursing homes (r=0.86–0.88; p<0.001). The observed agreement between the BMI-SF and the full MNA was 82.2% in the community and 77.8% in the nursing homes. There was a substantial agreement by kappa values in the comparison of community and nursing homes (the Kappa value of the BMI-SF was 0.63 in the community and 0.62 in the nursing homes, and the kappa value of the CC-SF was 0.62 in the community and 0.63 in the nursing homes). When compared to the full MNA the MNA-SFs tended to underestimate nutritional status. Both MNA-SFs had similarly high sensitivity and selectivity, both in the community and nursing homes. (when dichotomized as “malnourished-at risk of malnutrition” versus “well nourished” and “malnourished” versus “at risk of malnutrition-well nourished”) (over 80%).Conclusion
In cases where BMI cannot be determined, the CC-SF is a good substitute for the BMI-SF. 相似文献9.

Objectives
To validate the short-form of the MNA (MNA-SF) and the cut-off point of 31 cm for calf circumference (CC) in older people in Latin America.Methods
A cross-sectional study was conducted with 5,722 community-dwelling older subjects (range: 60-102 years) in Latin America’s five main cities: Sao Paulo (Brazil), Santiago (Chile), Havana (Cuba), Mexico DF (Mexico) and Montevideo (Uruguay). All participants underwent an interview, which included anthropometric measurements, completing the MNA and obtaining socio-demographic, nutrition and health information. The short-form of the MNA consists of only six questions from the original 18. It has two versions: one using body mass index (BMI) and the second using CC as a surrogate. Cohen’s Kappa was calculated to assess the agreement between the MNA and the MNA-SF; diagnostic tests were performed, and Receiver-operating characteristic (ROC) curves were developed. Criterion-related validity was assessed in the Chilean sample.Results
Both version of the MNA-SF showed high sensitivity and specificity with the MNA, showing good accuracy (0.88), although higher values were estimated for malnutrition and risk of malnutrition in the total sample by sex. The cut-off point of 31 cm for CC showed high sensitivity (74.6-94.4%), specificity (72.6-100%) and good area under the ROC curve (0.87-0.95) when compared with BMI. There was good agreement between MNA and both version of MNA-SF for identifying persons with malnutrition or a risk of malnutrition in the five cities (Kappa coefficient: 0.6193-0.7852).Conclusion
Both versions of the MNA-SF are population-screening tools of easy and fast application, with good accuracy for assessing malnutrition and risk of malnutrition in Latin American older people.10.

Objectives
To identify independent risk factors of mortality among elderly patients in the 3 months after their visit (T3) to an emergency department (ED).Design
Prospective cohort study.Setting
University hospital ED in an urban setting in France.Participants
One hundred seventy-three patients aged 75 and older were admitted to the ED over two weeks (18.7% of the 924 ED visits). Of these, 164 patients (94.8%) were included in our study, and 157 (95.7%) of them were followed three months after their ED visit.Measurements
During the inclusion period (T0), a standardized questionnaire was used to collect data on socio-demographic and environmental characteristics, ED visit circumstances, medical conditions and geriatric assessment including functional and nutritional status. Three months after the ED visits (T3), patients or their caregivers were interviewed to collect data on vital status, and ED return or hospitalization.Results
Among the 157 patients followed at T3, 14.6% had died, 19.9% had repeated ED visits, and 63.1% had been hospitalized. The two independent predictive factors for mortality within the 3 months after ED visit were: malnutrition screened by the Mini Nutritional Assessment short-form (MNA-SF) (OR=20.2; 95% CI: 5.74–71.35; p<.001) and the Cumulative Illness Rating Scale for Geriatrics (CIRS-G) score (OR=1.1; 95% CI: 1.01–1.22; p=.024).Conclusion
Malnutrition is the strongest independent risk factor predicting short-term mortality in elderly patients visiting the ED, and it was easily detected by MNA-SF and supported from the ED visit. 相似文献11.
Objectives
To identify older subjects at risk of malnutrition using the most appropriate tool available for the specific setting and to evaluate the Mini Nutritional Assessment short form (MNA-SF) in a sample of nonagenarians.Design
Questionnaire based national screening week for the risk and prevalence of malnutrition in older people (NutriAction).Setting
Older people in the community (CD) and in nursing homes (NH).Participants
General practices (n=70) and Nursing Homes (n=70).Measurements
Questionnaire based on items from validated screening instruments: the MNA-SF, the Short Nutritional Assessment Questionnaire (SNAQ) and additional clinically relevant parameters (mobility, independence, social isolation and co-morbidities).Results
In total 5,334 people were screened of which 16% were aged over 90 years. In this age group, 66% of the screened individuals were at risk of malnutrition (MNA ≤ 11), and women were affected significantly more than men (p<0.001). Actual malnutrition was present in 22% (BMI <20), 20% (SNAQ) and 25% (clinical evaluation). The MNA appeared to be very sensitive but had a low specificity as well in the nonagenarians (98% and 44%) as in the younger old (97% and 52%). The SNAQ was not a sensitive tool for detecting malnutrition in this study population (25%). Although clinical impression had a low sensitivity (60–61%) it has a good specificity (86% in 90+ and 91% below 90yr).Conclusion
The overall risk of and the prevalence of malnutrition is common in older people. The prevalence is higher in women, in nursing homes and in older age groups. The MNA-SF followed by a clinical subjective evaluation seems to be the preferred strategy for detecting malnutrition in nonagenarians. 相似文献12.

Objectives
The aim of the study was to investigate whether nutritional status as measured by the Mini Nutritional Assessment Short-Form (MNA-SF) predicts level of care of the discharge destination after post-acute care in a nursing home.Design
Cohort study.Setting
Post-acute intermediate care nursing home, 19-bed unit with increased multidisciplinary staff.Participants
Patients ≥70 years in post-acute care (N=900) following an acute admission to the hospital.Measurements
The predictive value of nutritional status, as measured by the MNA-SF, on discharge destination was analysed by means of a multinomial logistic regression model with the MNA-SF as the independent variable, discharge destination as the dependent variable and age and living situation as co-variates. The participants were grouped into three categories according to their discharge destination: home, other institution or readmitted to the hospital.Results
A higher score on the MNA-SF significantly predicted a reduced risk of discharge to institution (adjusted OR=0.90 (95% CI=0.84;0.97), p=0.003).Conclusion
Nutritional status, as measured by the MNA-SF, predicted discharge destination from an intermediate care nursing home following acute hospitalisation. The findings underscore the value of nutritional assessment as part of overall clinical assessment and care planning prior to discharge. The findings may also imply that interventions to improve nutritional status could increase patients’ ability to return home, as opposed to further institutionalisation, after hospitalisation.13.

Introduction
In Mini-Nutritional Assessment-Short Form (MNA-SF) test, a practical and reliable alternative parameter is still necessary for patients with difficult body mass index evaluation. We aimed to show whether or not handgrip strength may be used instead of body mass index (BMI) in MNA-SF test.Materials and Methods
MNA-SF test scores, calf circumferences (CC), handgrip strength (HGS), and BMI of 191 patients were evaluated. The first one of calculated MNA-SF tests was with BMI, the second one with CC, and the last one with HGS. Zero point was given if CC was <31 cm and 3 points were given if CC was ≥31 cm. Zero, 1, 2, and 3 points were given if the loss of HGS when compared to expected HGS were ≥%60, from ≥%30 to <%60, from ≥%10 to <%30, and <%10 or greater than expected HGS, respectively. MNA-SF scores and nutritional status according to these three measures were compared.Results
Mean age and median MNA-SF scores of the patients were 75±7.6 years and 12 points (min-max: 0-14) respectively. There were strongly positive correlations between MNA-SF scores with BMI and CC, with BMI and HGS, and with CC and HGS (r=0.938 p<0.001, r=0.938 p<0.001, r=0.914 p<0.001, respectively). Substantial agreement in nutritional status of the patients were seen between MNA-SF groups with BMI and CC, with CC and HGS, and with BMI and HGS (kappa: 0.795 p<0.001, kappa: 0.709 p<0.001, and kappa: 0.760 p<0.001, respectively).Conclusions
HGS might be considered instead of BMI in MNA-SF test to assess nutritional status of geriatric patients.14.

Objectives
To examine the significance of underweight and physical function as well as their interaction on mortality in the aged.Design
Prospective cohort.Setting
The Elderly Nutrition and Health Survey in Taiwan during 1999?C2000.Participants
Total of 1435 representative free-living elders (739 men and 696 women).Measurements
Body composition was assessed by various anthropometrics. Physical function score (PF, ranged 0?C100) was derived from the SF-36?. Death by December 31, 2006 was the outcome measure.Results
After 7.9 (median: 7.0) years follow-up, 381 (223 men, 158 women) of 1435 eligible participants had died. Those with the lowest PF (<45) had 3.43 (hazards ratio (HR), 95% confidence interval (CI) = 2.20?C5.36) times the all-cause mortality risk of the highest PF (??58). Interactions for PF and BMI (P =0.02) and for PF and wrist circumference (P =0.09) on death were found after controlling for potential confounders. Jointly, compared to normal-BMI-highest-PF, the greatest HR for death occurred where BMI <18.5 kg/m2 was combined with the lowest-PF after covariate adjustments (HR = 8.67, 95% CI = 3.77?C20.0). Similarly, the lowest arm muscle circumference (MAMC)-PF had a HR of 5.22 compared to mid-MAMC-highest-PF. However, percent and absolute body fat, estimated by bioelectrical impedance, was comparable to non-sarcopenic individuals.Conclusion
Thin elderly Taiwanese with sarcopenia, and less skeleton, are at the most risk of death, especially if physical function is limited. 相似文献15.

Objective
To determine the relationship of beef and protein intake to nutrition status, body composition, strength, and biochemical measures of vitamin and mineral status, inflammation and blood lipids in older adults.Design
Cross-sectional observational study.Setting
State of Ohio, U.S A.Participants
142 adults ages 60?C88.Measurements
Subjects completed a Diet History Questionnaire, and questionnaires related to nutrition status and activity. Subjects also underwent measurements of body composition and strength, and a subset took part in a blood draw for biochemical measurements.Results
Beef intake (g/d) was positively correlated to muscle mass measured by mid-arm muscle area (R=0.128, p=0.030). From multiple linear regression analysis, a loz/d (??28g/d) increase in beef consumption predicts for a 2.3cm2 increase in mid-arm muscle area. Beef intake was negatively correlated to total (R=?0.179, p=0.035) and HDL (R=?0.247, p=0.004) cholesterol, and there was no association between beef and LDL-cholesterol, triglycerides, liver enzymes, or inflammatory markers. Protein intake (% of total energy) was positively correlated to nutrition status measured by the Mini Nutrition Assessment (R=0.196, p=0.020), and calf circumference (R=0.190, p=0.024), and these correlations remained when potential confounders were accounted for in multiple linear regression models. Protein intake was also positively correlated with BMI when analyzed with multiple linear regression.Conclusions
Beef intake was positively associated with mid-arm muscle area, and protein intake was positively associated with nutrition status, calf circumference, and BMI in older adults. Consuming lean cuts of beef in moderation may be a healthy way in which older adults can increase protein intake, preserve muscle mass and improve nutrition status. 相似文献16.

Background
The current analyses focus on the need for services from the perspective of individuals considering preventive measures. A new approach imported from social and health psychology is used for assessing subjective need. This indicator is used for predicting actual health behaviour under field conditions and simultaneously other relevant background variables are taken into account.Methods
A mail survey was conducted prior to the start of a coaching program for teachers. A sample of n = 949 respondents were queried about mental distress and their intention to participate in the program. This intention to participate and actual attendance were taken as outcome variables in logistic regression analyses adjusted for relevant background variables.Results
Intention and participation in the coaching program three months later were associated with an unadjusted OR of 90.1 (95% CI: 39.2 - 207.0) for male teachers. For female teachers the crude effect was OR = 80.0 (95% CI: 45.7 - 140.1). The positive predictive value (PPV) was 96.4% among males and 94.5% among females. Adjusting for covariates results in higher values. Among female, but not among male teachers, the participation depended on psychological distress as assessed by the General Health Questionnaire (GHQ).Conclusions
There is strong evidence for using subjective need as an additional component in assessing the need for services and for predicting actual health behaviour. But it needs to be confined to intended behaviour which is under behavioural control. 相似文献17.

Objective
The aim of this study is to assess the quality of life in chronically-ill elderly patients and its relationship with parameters concerning the patients’ nutritional status.Design
A cross-sectional study.Setting
Primary health-care centres in Jaen, Spain.Participants
A total of 168 chronically-ill elderly outpatients aged from 65 to 89 years.Measurements
Quality of life was measured using the World Health Organization Quality of Life (WHOQOL-BREF) questionnaire. A nutritional assessment was undertaken including socio-demographic variables, anthropometric measurements (body-mass index and calf circumference), functional evaluation (Barthel index and Folstein mini-mental status test) and a dietetic questionnaire. The mini-nutritional assessment test was used as an assessment tool to detect nutritional risk.Results
Quality of life in chronically-ill elderly subjects, as determined by the WHOQOL-BREF questionnaire, which diminishes with age, is independent of anthropometric parameters and a statistically significant difference was found between gender, socio-demographic characteristics, functional capacity, nutritional status and the kind of chronic disease (p<0.05).Conclusion
The relationship between the quality of life with the patients’ socio-demographic characteristics, functional capacity and nutritional status underlines the importance of taking these factors into account in the management of chronically ill patients, especially women. 相似文献18.

Objectives
We investigated whether associations between nativity/length of US residence and body mass index (BMI) and waist circumference (WC) varied over the past two decades.Methods
Mexican-Americans aged 20–64 years from the National Health and Nutrition Survey (NHANES) III (1988–1994), and NHANES (1999–2008). Sex-stratified multivariable linear regression models further adjusted for age, education, and NHANES period.Results
We found no evidence of secular variation in the nativity/length of US residence gradient for men or women. Foreign-born Mexican-Americans, irrespective of residence length, had lower mean BMI and WC than their US-born counterparts. However among women, education modified secular trends in nativity differentials: notably, in less-educated women, nativity gradients widened over time due to alarming increases in BMI among the US-born and little increase in the foreign-born.Conclusions
Associations between nativity/length of US residence and BMI/WC did not vary over this 20-year period, but we noted important modifications by education in women. Understanding these trends is important for identifying vulnerable subpopulations among Mexican-Americans and for the development of effective health promotion strategies in this fast-growing segment of the population. 相似文献20.
