AB  - PURPOSE: Loss of appetite is caused by multifaceted disorders and affects an 
      average of 40% of patients with heart failure (HF). The Council on Nutrition 
      Appetite Questionnaire (CNAQ) and the Simplified Nutritional Appetite 
      Questionnaire (SNAQ) are designed to assess appetite among older adults. We aimed 
      to assess the psychometric properties of both CNAQ and SNAQ questionnaires in 
      elderly Polish patients with HF. METHODS: The study sample involved 103 patients 
      aged >/= 65 years with HF diagnosed according to the New York Heart Association 
      (NYHA) functional classes II-IV. The study was conducted among hospitalized 
      patients with HF. In the study, the Mini Nutritional Assessment (MNA) 
      questionnaire was used to assess the validity of the questionnaire. The 
      evaluation of the following psychometric values was taken into account: data 
      quality and homogeneity, factor structure, construct validity and internal 
      consistency. RESULTS: Parallel analysis confirmed the unidimensional structure of 
      both CNAQ and SNAQ. The adjusted eigenvalues for CNAQ were 3.50 for the first 
      factor and 0.62 for the second factor, and for SNAQ they were 2.2 and 0.31, 
      respectively. For CNAQ, the desired CFA values were obtained after modification 
      (RMSEA <0.06, CFI, TLI> 0.95), for SNAQ without modification (RMSEA <0.06, CFI, 
      TLI> 0.95). The correlation between CNAQ and SNAQ and MNA was strong (rs = 0.8 
      and rs = 0.81, p <0.001, respectively). The internal consistency of the CNAQ and 
      SNAQ tools was 0.88 and 0.86, respectively. CONCLUSION: The CNAQ and SNAQ 
      questionnaires have positive psychometric properties and can be used to evaluate 
      appetite among elderly Polish patients with HF.
