Abstract

Los hábitos de alimentación en las personas mayores constituyen un factor a tener en cuenta a la hora de analizar la calidad de vida. El objetivo del presente trabajo es valorar los costes sanitarios derivados de las visitas a servicios de salud y hospitalizaciones ocasionados por los hábitos de alimentación de las personas mayores. Para ello se utilizó la Encuesta Europea de Salud en España de 2014, y a través de diferentes modelos se observa la asociación estadísticamente significativa entre el número de visitas a urgencias y el incumplimiento de unos criterios mínimos de alimentación saludable. El gasto público total anual estimado de dichas visitas asciende a 731M€, de los que el 5,6% podría ser debido a una alimentación no saludable.
