Abstract

Objectives: To compare differences in weight loss in patients with Alzheimer's disease on normal, diabetic, or texture-modified diets.

Methods: This prospective interventional study examined the data of patients with Alzheimer's disease who were admitted to a long-term care hospital in Japan from February to April 2013. Dietary elements and weight loss over a 3-month period were examined. Results: Of the 75 patients examined, 6 were on a normal diet, 10 were on a diabetic diet, and 59 were on a texture-modified diet. Weight loss was significantly associated with body weight, Mini Nutritional Assessment®, and diet type. In the non-malnourished patients, there was a significant difference between the three types of diets in terms of eating rate and weight loss.

Conclusion: Diet type was independently associated with weight loss in patients with Alzheimer's disease. Research using larger sample sizes is necessary to eliminate the differences between these diet types.

饮食类型对阿尔茨海默病患者体重减轻的影响。

目的比较正常饮食、糖尿病饮食或质地改良饮食对阿尔茨海默病患者体重减轻的影响：这项前瞻性干预研究调查了 2013 年 2 月至 4 月期间入住日本一家长期护理医院的阿尔茨海默病患者的数据。研究考察了患者在 3 个月内的饮食元素和体重减轻情况。结果显示在接受检查的 75 名患者中，6 人采用正常饮食，10 人采用糖尿病饮食，59 人采用质地改良饮食。体重减轻与体重、Mini Nutritional Assessment® 和饮食类型有明显关系。在非营养不良患者中，三种饮食在进食率和体重减轻方面存在显著差异：结论：饮食类型与阿尔茨海默病患者的体重减轻有独立关联。结论：饮食类型与阿尔茨海默病患者的体重减轻有独立关系，有必要使用更大的样本量进行研究，以消除这些饮食类型之间的差异。
