Analysis of nutritional status and related factors in patients with Parkinson's disease / 临床神经病学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To explore the nutritional status and it's relative factors of patients with Parkinson's disease ( PD) .Methods One hundred and eighty PD patients were sellected in this study.All the motor and non-motor symptoms of PD patients were evaluated by PD scales, and mini Nutritional Assessment ( MNA )-SF questionnaires were used to evaluate their nutritional status.Results The differences of PD duration, Unified PD Rating Scale Ⅲ ( UPDRSⅢ) , H-Y stage and non-motor systems between normal nutritional status and abnormal nutritional status PD patients were statistically significant (P<0.05-0.01).The forward binary Logistic regression model indicated that H-Y stage (OR=2.35,95%CI1.24-4.45,P=0.007) and depression (OR=1.39,95%CI1.25-1.67,P<0.001) were closely associated with abnormal nutritional status.Conclusion The disease itself, motor systems and non-motor systems are closely associated with nutritional status in PD patients.
