Difficulties with meal-related activities (preparing meals and food shopping) may influence food intake, and contribute to nutritional risk among elderly people. All known studies on this topic had a cross-sectional design, thereby no causal relationships could be derived. We aim to investigate if difficulties with meal-related activities can contribute to subsequent weight loss in community-dwelling older people.
We used data of older subjects from the MAPT Study (n = 1531, median age = 74 years, 64% women), who provided prospective data on weight every 6 months and cognitive, physical condition, and functional capacities every year during a 3-year period. Difficulties preparing meals and shopping were evaluated each year with the Alzheimer's Disease Cooperative Study-Activities of Daily Living Prevention Instrument (ADCS ADL-PI) Scale. The risk of losing weight (≥5% or ≥ 3 kg in the following year) was estimated using a time-dependent Cox regression model.
During the 3-year follow-up, a total of 851 subjects experienced at least a 5% or 3 kg weight loss. Two hundred thirty-seven subjects declared having difficulties with meal preparation at least once, and 133 declared having difficulties shopping. Subjects reporting any meal-related difficulties were older (p < 0.001), had more depressive symptoms (p < 0.001), and a lower physical function (p < 0.001) compared to those without difficulties. They also had a lower cognitive score (preparing meals: p < 0.001; shopping: p = 0.005) and a lower body mass index (preparing meals: p = 0.005; shopping: p = 0.023) at the end of the study. Meal-related activities were not associated with weight loss in unadjusted analysis and after adjustment for sex, age, depression, physical and cognitive status.
Difficulties preparing meals and shopping had no effect on weight loss in community-dwelling older people, despite their association with advanced age, functional decline, and depressive symptoms.
与膳食相关的活动(准备饭菜和购买食物)困难可能会影响老年人的食物摄入,导致营养风险。所有关于这一主题的已知研究均采用横断面设计,因此无法得出因果关系。我们旨在研究与膳食相关的活动困难是否会导致社区居住的老年人随后体重减轻。
我们使用了 MAPT 研究(n=1531,中位年龄 74 岁,64%为女性)中老年人的数据,他们在 3 年期间每年提供关于认知、身体状况和功能能力的前瞻性数据,并每 6 个月报告一次体重。每年使用阿尔茨海默病合作研究-日常生活活动预防工具(ADCS ADL-PI)量表评估准备饭菜和购物的困难程度。使用时间依赖性 Cox 回归模型估计体重减轻的风险(下一年体重减轻≥5%或≥3kg)。
在 3 年的随访期间,共有 851 名受试者经历了至少 5%或 3kg 的体重减轻。237 名受试者至少一次报告准备饭菜有困难,133 名受试者报告购物有困难。与没有困难的受试者相比,报告有任何膳食相关困难的受试者年龄更大(p<0.001),抑郁症状更多(p<0.001),身体功能更差(p<0.001)。他们的认知评分也更低(准备饭菜:p<0.001;购物:p=0.005),体重指数也更低(准备饭菜:p=0.005;购物:p=0.023)。在研究结束时。未经调整分析和调整性别、年龄、抑郁、身体和认知状况后,膳食相关活动与体重减轻无关。
尽管与高龄、功能下降和抑郁症状相关,但在社区居住的老年人中,准备饭菜和购物困难与体重减轻无关。
