摘要

癫痫是一种复杂的神经系统疾病,源于多方面的因素,包括遗传倾向和各种诱发因素。老年人是全球迅速增长的人口群体,其癫痫发作的风险也随之增加。在印度,有相当多的人患有癫痫,尤其是在农村地区更为普遍。此外,营养不良与癫痫之间的关系十分复杂,有可能相互影响对方的发病和病情发展。老年癫痫患者通常面临久坐不动的生活方式,以及因药物治疗而产生的潜在体重问题。这项试点研究旨在评估老年癫痫患者的营养状况。研究采用定量研究方法,在泰米尔纳德邦的一家私立神经病学医院对 30 名 60 至 80 岁的患者进行研究。通过访谈和饮食评估(包括 24 小时回忆法和食物频率法)收集数据。通过使用 SPSS 进行统计分析,了解了参与者的营养素摄入情况。结果表明,虽然某些营养素达到了推荐水平,但脂肪和碳水化合物的摄入量超过了规定量。此外,不同类型的癫痫发作患者的饮食模式也有所不同。尽管存在差异,但未发现统计学意义。食物频率分析显示了不同的消费模式,尤其是老年癫痫患者的水果和蔬菜摄入量较低。这项研究强调了了解癫痫患者(尤其是老年癫痫患者)营养需求的重要性,以便制定个性化的饮食干预措施,从而改善癫痫发作控制和整体健康。

A pilot study on determination of dietary intake of geriatric epileptic patients
Epilepsy, a complex neurological condition, stems from multifaceted factors, including genetic predispositions and various triggers. The elderly, a rapidly growing demographic globally, encounter an increased risk of seizures. In India, a significant population lives with epilepsy, notably more prevalent in rural areas. Moreover, malnutrition and epilepsy exhibit a complex relationship, potentially influencing each other's onset and progression. Geriatric individuals with epilepsy often face sedentary lifestyles and potential weight-related concerns due to medication. This pilot study aimed to assess the nutrient profile of geriatric patients with epilepsy. A quantitative research approach was adopted; studying 30 individuals aged 60 to 80 years at a private neurology hospital in Tamil Nadu. Data was collected through interviews and dietary assessments, including the 24-hour recall and food frequency methods. Statistical analysis using SPSS provided insights into nutrient intake among the participants. Results indicated that while certain nutrients met recommended levels, fat and carbohydrate intake exceeded the prescribed amounts. Additionally, dietary patterns varied among different types of seizures. Despite differences, no statistical significance was found. Food frequency analysis revealed varied consumption patterns, notably lower intake of fruits and vegetables among the epilepsy geriatric patients. The study emphasizes the importance of understanding the nutritional needs of individuals with epilepsy, particularly in the geriatric population, to formulate personalized dietary interventions for improved seizure management and overall health.
