Alterações nutricionais em idosos com doença de Alzheimer: risco nutricional e sarcopenia
Palavras-chave:
Doença de Alzheimer, Estado nutricional, SarcopeniaResumo
Objetivo
Conhecer as alterações nutricionais e a presença de sarcopenia em idosos com doença de Alzheimer.
Métodos
Trata-se de estudo transversal descritivo, no qual foram incluídos idosos com diagnóstico de doença de Alzheimer acompanhados na Unidade de Saúde de Atenção ao Idoso em uma capital do Sul do Brasil, entre novembro/2010 a julho/2011. A escala Clinical Dementia Rating foi utilizada para definição do estágio da demência. Para classificação do estado nutricional aplicou-se a Mini Avaliação Nutricional. Para o diagnóstico de sarcopenia, foram utilizados os testes: impedância bioelétrica, força de preensão manual e teste Timed Get Up and Go. Foram realizadas medidas antropométricas e exames laboratoriais (hemoglobina, linfócitos, albumina e colesterol total).
Resultados
Foram avaliados 96 idosos com idade média de 78 anos, prevalecendo doença de Alzheimer na fase leve (54,2%), sendo que 55,2% apresentavam risco de desnutrição, 64,6% perda de peso involuntária, 55,3% redução de linfócitos e 43,7% sarcopenia grave.
Conclusão
Os idosos com doença de Alzheimer apresentam alta prevalência de risco de desnutrição e sarcopenia. Estudos futuros devem ser direcionados a avaliar intervenções nutricionais que visem a manutenção do estado nutricional e da massa muscular desses indivíduos.
