To compare differences in weight loss in patients with Alzheimer's disease on normal, diabetic, or texture-modified diets.
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.
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.
比较阿尔茨海默病患者采用正常饮食、糖尿病饮食或质地改良饮食时体重减轻的差异。
这项前瞻性干预研究检查了2013年2月至4月入住日本一家长期护理医院的阿尔茨海默病患者的数据。对3个月期间的饮食元素和体重减轻情况进行了检查。结果：在检查的75例患者中，6例采用正常饮食，10例采用糖尿病饮食，59例采用质地改良饮食。体重减轻与体重、微型营养评定量表以及饮食类型显著相关。在非营养不良患者中，三种饮食类型在进食速度和体重减轻方面存在显著差异。
饮食类型与阿尔茨海默病患者的体重减轻独立相关。需要进行更大样本量的研究以消除这些饮食类型之间的差异。
