Session Title: Parkinsonisms and Parkinson-Plus
Session Time: 1:45pm-3:15pm
Location: Agora 3 West, Level 3
Objective: The body composition of Parkinson’s disease patients is undergoing changes due to less physical activity, stress.
Background: To determine the changes in body structure of the Parkinson’s disease patients over the last 2 years.
Method: The study was conducted 1st clinic of the Tashkent Medical Academy in 75 patients (33 female and 42 male) at the age 34-76 years. The test was performed after 2 years, with segmentar body analyzer Tanita BC-545 (Japan).
Results: Body weight ranged from 52.6 kg to 103 kg, averaging 69.6 ± 1.42 kg. The average body mass index was 24.8 ± 0.4 kg / m2, which corresponded to the prevalence among the examined patients with a normal body weight. By the 2nd year of follow-up, patients had BMI decreased by 1.1 ± 1.3% (p≤0.001), from the initial level, where there was a decrease in body weight by 4.6% (p≤0.01) over the observation period. The decrease in the fat mass content and the proportion of visceral fat was 2.5 ± 0.2% (p <0.05) and 0.1 ± 0.1%, respectively. The average significant index of lean mass at admission was 54.0 ± 1.12 in patients; at the end of the 2nd year it was 49.9 ± 1.1 (p≤0.05), which predicted negative weight loss and muscle atrophy due to low level of physical activity. At the same time, patients clinically revealed complaints of fatigue, felt a decrease in strength. The total fat and percentage of fat were significantly higher (p<0.01) and the lean body mass and water content were lower (p<0.001 for each) in female when compared with males.
Conclusion: Was a significant weight loss due to muscle mass during the observation period. It is recommended the appointment of physical therapy, adequate nutrition, care of patients with parkinsonism, effectively helps the normalization of mental, somatic states, affects the motivational component of physical activity with the formation of adequate approaches to a healthy lifestyle.
