Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Characterization of eldery according to sensitivity to basic tastes second age group and nutritional status

  To identify the thresholds for detecting basic tastes in an elderly population and to relate to the age range and nutritional status.

  3 years

Eligibility Criteria

• Age: 60 Years+
• Sex: all
• Age Groups: Adult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)
• Sampling Method: Non-Probability Sample

Study Population

Threshold sensitivity is applied to determine the threshold of 5 basic tastes in elderly in ambulatory care. It is applied mini mental test to evaluate cognition, considering that those who presented a score equal to or greater than 24 points. A 24-hour recall was applied to check food intake. The mini nutritional assessment was applied to verify nutritional status. Other information, such as diagnoses and medications, were obtained from medical records. Information on socioeconomic parameters were obtained through a questionnaire applied to the patient.

You may qualify if:

• years old patient or older, who present oral feeding and the ability to express themselves to perform the sensory analysis tests will be included.

You may not qualify if:

• Patient with fever, flu, cold or some complication in the oral cavity will be excluded, since these factors can interfere in the perception of the tastes and those that do not present conditions to express themselves or deficits of cognition, being excluded the elderly that present result of the application of the Mini Mental under 24. In addition to those who do not agree to sign the Term of Free and Informed Consent.
