Abstract

Limited research exists regarding the diet quality and nutritional concerns of people with Parkinson's disease (PwPD) and their informal caregivers. The study's purpose was to assess diet quality via the Healthy Eating Index-2015 (HEI-2015) and self-reported nutrition concerns via semi-structured, dyadic interviews of 20 PwPD (69.7 ± 9.2 yrs) and their caregivers (66.7 ± 13.0 yrs). HEI-2015 scores were 58.3 ± 12.4 and 58.1 ± 10.6 for PwPD and caregivers, respectively. Reported dietary concerns related to PD included: change in appetite or amount eaten, gastrointestinal issues, food-medication management, chewing/swallowing issues, and change in taste/smell. The poor diet quality and nutrition concerns identified suggest nutrition professionals and caregivers are critical on the healthcare team to promote optimal health among PwPD. Future research should address overall and specific aspects of diet quality, and nutritional concerns identified by dyads in this study, such as gastrointestinal issues and food-medication management.

帕金森病患者及其非正式照顾者的饮食质量和营养问题:一项混合方法研究

关于帕金森病(PwPD)患者及其非正式照顾者的饮食质量和营养问题的研究有限。该研究的目的是通过健康饮食指数-2015 (HEI-2015)评估饮食质量，并通过对20名PwPD(69.7±9.2岁)及其照顾者(66.7±13.0岁)的半结构化双元访谈来评估自我报告的营养问题。PwPD和护理人员的HEI-2015评分分别为58.3±12.4分和58.1±10.6分。据报道，与PD相关的饮食问题包括:食欲或进食量的变化、胃肠道问题、食物药物管理、咀嚼/吞咽问题以及味觉/嗅觉的变化。所确定的不良饮食质量和营养问题表明，营养专业人员和护理人员对于促进PwPD患者的最佳健康至关重要。未来的研究应该解决饮食质量的整体和具体方面，以及本研究中确定的双染色体的营养问题，如胃肠道问题和食物药物管理。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Nutrition in Gerontology and Geriatrics publishes original research studies that are directly relevant to clinical and community nutrition issues that affect older adults. Epidemiologic and community-based studies are suitable for JNE, as are well-controlled clinical trials of preventive and therapeutic nutritional interventions. The Journal of Nutrition in Gerontology and Geriatrics invites papers on a broad array of topics in the nutrition and aging field, including but not limited to studies of: preventive nutrition, nutritional interventions for chronic disease, aging effects on nutritional requirements, nutritional status and dietary intake behaviors, nutritional frailty and functional status, usefulness of supplements, programmatic interventions, transitions in care and long term care, and community nutrition issues.
