Objective: This study, the elderly cerebro vascular disease was carried out to examine the relationship between cognitive status and nutrition. Methods: This research was designed as a descriptive cross-sectional study. The study was done with 123 elderly stroke hospitalized in neurology clinic of University’s Hospital. The data were obtained by the Elderly Identifiable Information Form, Standardized MiniMental State Examination and Mini Nutritional Assessment. Percentage calculation, independent samples t-test, One Way ANOVA, Kruskal-Wallis and Simple Correlation Analysis by Pearson Correlation Coefficient tests were used in the evaluation of data. Results: According to Standardized Mini-Mental State Examination 83% of the elderly, has been deterioration in cognitive level. According to Mini Nutritional Assessment 22.8% malnourished, 50.4% were at high risk for malnutrition in reputation. The study examined the relationship between the elderly Standardized Mini-Mental State Examination scores and the Mini Nutritional Assessment. When examining the relationship between Standardized Mini-Mental State Examination scores and the Mini Nutritional Assessment to the study of the elderly determined that a positive correlation a significant association between cognitive status and nutritional status. Conclusion: In the elderly was a significant correlation between cognitive status and nutrition status. It should be assessment at high risk for malnutrition in elderly people deteriorating cognitive status of individuals of health workers.

Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı, inmeli yaşlı bireylerin bilişsel düzeyi ve beslenme durumu arasındaki ilişkinin incelenmesidir.Yöntem: Tanımlayıcı-kesitsel nitelikte olan bu çalışma, İç Anadolu Bölgesi’ndeki bir ilimizde bulunan Devlet Üniversitesi Hastanesi Nöroloji Kliniği’ne inme tanısıyla yatan 123 hasta üzerinde yapılmıştır. Verilerin toplanmasında, Tanıtıcı Bilgi Formu, Standardize Mini Mental Test ve Mini Beslenme Değerlendirmesi kullanılmıştır. Veriler, yüzdelik hesabı, Bağımsız Gruplarda İki Ortalama Arasındaki Farkın Önemlilik Testi, Tek Yönlü VaryansAnalizi, Kruskal-Wallis ve Basit Korelasyon Analizi Pearson KorelasyonKatsayısı testleri kullanılarak değerlendirilmiştir.Bulgular: Standardize Mini Mental Test’e göre; inmeli yaşlıların %83’ündebilişsel düzeyde bozulma olduğu, Mini Beslenme Değerlendirmesi’ne göre,%22.8’inde malnütrisyon geliştiği, %50.4’ünde ise malnütrisyon riski olduğu belirlenmiştir. Çalışmada Standardize Mini Mental Test ve Mini Beslenme Değerlendirme puanları arasındaki ilişki incelendiğinde; yaşlı hastalarınbilişsel durumu ile beslenme durumu arasında pozitif yönde anlamlı bir ilişki olduğu belirlenmiştir.Sonuç: İnmeli yaşlıların bilişsel düzeyi ile beslenme durumu arasında pozitif yönde anlamlı ilişki olduğu belirlenmiştir. Sağlık çalışanlarının bilişseldurumu bozulan yaşlıları malnütrisyon açısından riskli bireyler olarak değerlendirmesi ve malnutrisyonun önlenmesine yönelik planlamalar yapmasıönemlidir
