Sažetak
Interdisciplinary approach through nutrition- gerontological norms in homes for the elderly and gerontological centers In the progressive aging of the population of the Republic of Croatia, it is almost necessary to integrate monitoring of gerontological public health indicators of health protection. The aging process dictates the daily energy needs of the elderly, which depend on basic physiological needs, physical activity, individual needs of the elderly, and many other factors. Within the framework of the Social Care Strategy for the Elderly in the Republic of Croatia for the period from 2017 to 2020, the manual “Nutritional- gerontological norms/menus in homes for the elderly and gerontological centers” was created. For the assessment and outcomes of positive health behavior related to proper nutrition for the elderly, gerontoanthropometric characteristics of nutritional assessment, assessment of nutritional status via the NRS 2002 web service, an assessment of energy needs of the elderly in relation to age and physical activity was used, as well as morbidity, ratio of macronutrients and intake of micronutrients and adherence to eight dietary rules for the elderly. The interdisciplinary approach through nutritional and gerontological norms is consolidated in the Manual, where there is a detailed presentation of all areas related to nutrition in the elderly with a practical presentation of menu examples based on the Guidelines for creating menus suitable for the elderly in institutional and non-institutional gerontological care. Adequate nutritional care depends on the quality of the menus and the knowledge of the staff involved in their creation. Monitoring the components of positive health behavior, which include proper nutrition and the analysis and evaluation of gerontological determinants, is essential for the process of active healthy aging and achieving the energy and nutritional needs of the elderly. Such an interdisciplinary approach mainly contributes to the preservation of functional ability, disease prevention, and improvement of health and quality of life in old age.
