Screening for undernutrition among hospitalized children requires a systematic assessment of dietary intake. The development of a new tool for quick and playful assessment of dietary intake, called "Fleur" ("Flower"), at the Hôpital de l'Enfance in Lausanne allows to identify children at risk of undernutrition and to adapt their nutrition to their specific needs.

Au cours des trente dernières années, de nombreuses villes, régions et pays, ont développé des politiques publiques d'accueil systématique d'événements sportifs. La concurrence globalisée qui en résulte demande des ressources dont les pouvoirs publics ne disposent pas nécessairement. Dès lors, la stratégie de développement par l'accueil d'événements sportifs est généralement rendue possible par un regroupement d'acteurs issus du secteur public, privé et du milieu associatif sous la forme d'une coalition. C'est à cette fragmentation de la gouvernance urbaine et au fonctionnement du réseau qui en découle que s'intéresse ce cahier. En prenant comme cas d'étude la World Gymnaestrada Lausanne 2011, il nous a été possible d'appliquer une analyse des réseaux sociaux à la coalition qui s'est formée autour de la manifestation. Cette approche, récente pour analyser les événements sportifs dans le contexte des villes européennes, nous a permis d'observer une prédominance des pouvoirs publics dans le réseau entourant la manifestation. Les observations suggèrent également que l'organisation de l'événement, et sa réussite, permet aux autorités de la ville de Lausanne de gagner en légitimité auprès des acteurs du réseau.

OBJECTIVES: To estimate the prevalence of prefrailty, frailty, comorbidity, and disability in the youngest old and to identify chronic diseases associated with individual frailty criteria. DESIGN: Population-based cohort study of noninstitutionalized elderly adults at baseline; cross-sectional analysis. SETTING: Lausanne, Switzerland. PARTICIPANTS: One thousand two hundred eighty-three individuals with complete data on frailty, aged 65 to 70 (58.5% women). MEASUREMENTS: Frailty was assessed according to an adaptation of Fried's criteria (shrinking, weakness, exhaustion, slowness, and low activity, three criteria needed for the diagnosis of frailty, 1 to 2 for prefrailty). Other outcomes were diseases diagnosed by a doctor (≥ 2 chronic diseases: comorbidity) and limitations in activities of daily living (ADLs, basic and instrumental). RESULTS: At baseline, of 1,283 participants 71.1% were classified as nonfrail, 26.4% as prefrail, and 2.5% as frail. The proportion of women increased across these three groups (56.5%, 62.8%, and 71.9%, respectively; P = .01), as did the proportion of individuals with one or more chronic diseases (68.0%, 82.8%, and 90.6%, respectively; P < .001) and the proportion with basic or instrumental ADL disability (1.6%, 10.3%, and 59.4%, respectively; P < .001). Weakness (low grip strength) was the most frequent criterion (14.3%). Prefrail participants had significantly more comorbidity and ADL disability than nonfrail participants (P < .001). When present in isolation, weakness was associated with two to three times greater prevalence of coronary heart disease, other heart diseases, diabetes mellitus, and arthritis. Similarly, a significant association was identified between exhaustion and depression. CONCLUSION: Prefrailty is common in the youngest old. The most prevalent frailty criterion is weakness, which is associated with cardiovascular diseases. Longitudinal studies of the evolution of prefrailty should explore the role of potential interactions between individual frailty criteria and specific chronic diseases.
