Abstract

Background: Patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) regularly report an increased desire for food or beverages with high sugar content.

Objective: The aim of this study was to verify the hypothesis of an increased intake of fast-acting carbohydrates in PD patients.

Methods: This study investigated the consumption of high-sugar content food products in 221 PD patients compared with 184 healthy controls using a self-administered questionnaire.

Results: Male PD patients reported a significantly more often high consumption of chocolate (p = 0.005) and other sweets (p < 0.001) than healthy controls. Moreover, PD patients with a high intake of these products showed a significantly longer disease duration (p = 0.002).

Conclusion: Our study confirmed changes in intake of fast-acting carbohydrates derived from sweets in PD. Future studies should address the observed association with disease progression to understand underlying pathophysiological mechanisms leading to this behavioral change.

帕金森病患者速效碳水化合物摄入量增加

背景:帕金森病(PD)患者经常报告对高糖食物或饮料的渴望增加。目的:本研究的目的是验证PD患者摄入速效碳水化合物增加的假设。方法:本研究采用自填问卷调查221例帕金森病患者和184例健康对照者的高糖食品消费情况。结果:男性PD患者报告巧克力(p = 0.005)和其他甜食(p < 0.001)的高消费量明显高于健康对照组。此外，大量摄入这些产品的PD患者的疾病持续时间明显更长(p = 0.002)。结论:我们的研究证实了PD患者来源于甜食的速效碳水化合物摄入量的变化。未来的研究应解决观察到的与疾病进展的关联，以了解导致这种行为改变的潜在病理生理机制。
