Resumo: | Objective: This study aimed to investigate the nutritional status and body weight changes in patients with Alzheimer disease treated at a specialized clinic in Fortaleza-CE, Brazil. Methods: This is a comparative cross-sectional study with a quantitative approach, which involved elderly with and without Alzheimer disease, treated at a specialized clinic during the month of March 2009. To assess the nutritional status, we used the Mini Nutritional Assessment questionnaire (MAN) and the Body Mass Index (BMI) classification proposed by Lipschitz, while the weight change was investigated by a pre-established form. Results: We analyzed 58 elderly men and women, being 29 with Alzheimer disease (Group 1) and 29 without the disease (Group 2). The weight loss was the most frequently weight change reported by the two groups, and the percentage was higher in group 1 (62.1%, n = 18) than in group 2 (44.8%, n = 13). The group 1 presented a higher prevalence of risk of malnutrition according to MAN (55.2%, n = 16) and all patients classified as malnourished by BMI (20.7%, n = 6). Conclusion: It is observed, therefore, that the weight loss and malnutrition are present in the reality in question, indicating the importance of early nutritional monitoring in Alzheimer disease. |

Métodos: Trata-se de um estudo do tipo transversal comparativo, com abordagem quantitativa, cuja amostra envolveu idosos com e sem a doença de Alzheimer, que frequentaram ambulatório especializado durante o mês de março de 2009. Para avaliar o estado nutricional, utilizou-se o questionário Mini Avaliação Nutricional (MAN) e a classificação do Índice de Massa Corpórea (IMC) proposta por Lipschitz, enquanto que a alteração de peso foi investigada a partir de formulário pré-estabelecido. Resultados: Analisou-se 58 idosos de ambos os sexos, sendo 29 com Alzheimer (grupo 1) e 29 sem a doença (grupo 2). A perda de peso corporal foi a alteração mais frequente relatada pelos dois grupos, sendo que o percentual foi maior no grupo 1 (62,1%, n = 18) do que no grupo 2 (44,8%, n=13). O grupo 1 apresentou maior prevalência de risco de desnutrição, de acordo com a MAN (55,2%, n=16), e a totalidade dos pacientes classificados como desnutridos pelo IMC (20,7%, n=6). Conclusão: Observa-se, portanto, que a perda de peso e a desnutrição estão presentes na realidade em questão, evidenciando a importância do acompanhamento nutricional precoce na doença de Alzheimer.Universidade de Fortaleza2012-11-27info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion"Peer-reviewed Article""Avaliado pelos pares""Avaliado pelos pares"application/pdfhttps://ojs.unifor.br/RBPS/article/view/224910.5020/2249Brazilian Journal in Health Promotion; Vol. 25 No. 2 Sup (2012); 90-95Revista Brasileña en Promoción de la Salud; Vol. 25 Núm. 2 Sup (2012); 90-95Revista Brasileira em Promoção da Saúde; v. 25 n. 2 Sup (2012); 90-951806-1230reponame:Revista Brasileira em Promoção da Saúdeinstname:Universidade de Fortaleza (Unifor)instacron:UFORporhttps://ojs.unifor.br/RBPS/article/view/2249/2476Nobre, Raquel GuimarãesAlmeida, Paulo César deLimaverde, Patrícia Teixeirainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2012-11-27T22:32:19Zoai:ojs.ojs.unifor.br:article/2249Revistahttps://periodicos.unifor.br/RBPS/oai1806-12301806-1222opendoar:2012-11-27T22:32:19Revista Brasileira em Promoção da Saúde - Universidade de Fortaleza (Unifor)false |
