“…Likewise patients with AD may show disturbed feeding behaviours, are easily distracted from eating and may verbally refuse to eat (Durnbaugh et al 1996). Patients with dementia can suffer from agnosia (difficulties in interpreting sense data related to vision, taste, smell, or touch) and apraxia (incapacity in opening the mouth due to motor disturbance), which can impair eating (Marcus & Berry, 1998).…”

As the number of older people is growing rapidly worldwide and the fact that elderly people are also apparently living longer, dementia, the most common cause of cognitive impairment is getting to be a greater public health problem. Nutrition plays a role in the ageing process, but there is still a lack of knowledge about nutrition-related risk factors in cognitive impairment. Research in this area has been intensive during the last decade, and results indicate that subclinical deficiency in essential nutrients (antioxidants such as vitamins C, E and b-carotene, vitamin B 12 , vitamin B 6 , folate) and nutrition-related disorders, as hypercholesterolaemia, hypertriacylglycerolaemia, hypertension, and diabetes could be some of the nutrition-related risk factors, which can be present for a long time before cognitive impairment becomes evident.

“…Of the remaining 83 studies, 25 papers [13, were initially included after reading of the full paper and scanning of references. This resulted in identification of 14 assessment tools of which eight met all the inclusion criteria, five [25][26][27][28][29][30][31] were excluded as the scale did not cover all phases of eating and one [13] was excluded as the paper did not provide sufficient information on the scale.

“…함께 이를 측정한 연구들이 행해졌고, 여기에 부적절한 음식을 먹 거나 음식을 집어 입에 넣는 동작의 실패, 음식을 삼키지 않고 뱉어 내는 행동, 음식을 저작하거나 삼키지 못하는 행동 등의 다양한 행 동이 결과로 제시되었다 (Chang & Roberts, 2008;Durnbaugh et al, 1996;Lin, Watson, Lee, Chou, & Wu, 2008;Tully, Matrakas, Muir, & Musallam, 1997). 한편, 치매노인의 식사행동과의 관련성 연구에서 식사행동은 인지기능, 신체기능 등과 관련이 있고, 이로 인한 식사행 동의 변화는 음식섭취량 및 체중감소와 영양결핍을 일으키며, 식사 보조의 어려움과 식사시간을 증가시켜 부양자의 부담을 증가시키 는 것으로 나타났다 (Chang & Roberts;Lin et al;Tully et al;Wang, 2002;Watson, 2002;White, 2005).…”

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to explore characteristics of eating behavior according to level of functional status of elders with dementia (EWD), and to examine feeding time, change in food intake and body mass index (BMI) according to eating behavior. Methods: Participants were 149 EWD residing in long-term care facilities located in Seoul or Gyeonggi province and evaluated using the Mini-Mental State Exam-Korean version, Korean version-Activities of Daily Living, and Eating Behavior Scale (EBS). Feeding time, change in food intake, and BMI were also measured. Data were analyzed using SPSS 17.0, specifically descriptive statistics, ANOVA, and Chi-square test. Results: Participants' mean EBS score was 10.43±6.01 and half of them (54.4%) needed moderate or total assistance while eating. The EBS score was significantly lower for elders with severe dementia compared to those with mild or moderate dementia; and elders with severe ADL dependence compared to those with mild or moderate ADL dependence. Lower EBS scores were related to longer feeding time, a greater the rate of participants with decreased food intake and 'underweight' BMI. Conclusion: Nursing intervention programs which are designed for EWD are needed to maintain functional eating skills and prevent negative consequences in this population.
