Objective: To assess the presence of an association between malnutrition and the risk of depression in seniors over 75 years old who attend the outpatient clinic service in the Geriatric department. Method: It has been made an analytical cross-sectional study in the Navy Medical Centre of Callao – Peru. The malnutrition was measured with the Mini Nutritional Assessment (MNA) and categorised in normal nutritional state and malnutrition. The patients were classified as at risk or without risk of depression according to the score obtained in the Geriatric Disease Scale. Likewise, they were assessed by sex, age, marital status, level of education, number of people in the household, number of comorbidities and functional status. Prevalence ratios (RP) were estimated with their respective 95% CI using a Poisson regression model at crude and adjusted level. Results: The analysis included 135 seniors. From them, 34.1% were at risk of depression. On the other hand, 34.8% had an altered nutritional status. The likelihood of depression risk in senior patients is higher in malnourished than in those with normal nutrition status, both in the crude analysis [RP: 3,51 (IC95%: 2,14 a 5,76)], and in the adjusted [RP: 2,76 (IC 95%: 1,65 a 4,63)]. Conclusions: The findings suggest the presence of an association between malnutrition and risk of depression in seniors over 75 years old who come to the geriatric outpatient clinic of the medical centre.
