Nutritional intake and physical activity in leg ulcer patients

Abstract: The aim of the study was to describe the nutritional intake, meal patterns, physical activity and need for help in nine women living in their own homes and being treated for venous leg ulcers. Food habits were identified by use of interviews and food diaries completed by the women during a period of seven days. The intake of energy and nutrients from 304 eating events during seven days was calculated and meal patterns were evaluated using a qualitative system for meal classification. Physical activity and the … Show more

“…However, experts in our project group agreed on the relevance of these lifestyle behaviours, and this was in accordance with the consensus based National Guideline Diagnosis and Treatment of the Ulcus Cruris Venosum [32]. Recommendations from this guideline and our expert group are supported by 'circumstantial evidence', such as studies that (1) demonstrate negative effects of smoking on circulation and wound healing [4,5]; (2) describe the importance of vitamin C in basic metabolism [33,34]; (3) demonstrate vitamin A and C deficiencies as well as low level of zinc in leg ulcer patients [35,36,37,38]; (4) provide evidence for additional risk of cardiovascular conditions in overweight persons [39]; (5) demonstrate high prevalence of overweight and obesity in leg ulcer patients [3].…”

“…The first version of the FBCE concept was applied to the studies by Lennernäs et al (1993a,b) and Sidenvall et al (1996). The modified version was applied to the studies of Wissing et al (1997Wissing et al ( , 1998 and Andersson (1997). The modification affects primarily the content of ascorbic acid in "incomplete meals" that now may contain ascorbic acid (from potatoes).…”

“…In diesen Studien wurden ebenso wie in unserer Untersuchung die MNA TM -Werte und die Mobilität der Patienten objektiviert. Niedrige Punktwerte in den MN-A TM -Bögen sowie eine verminderte Mobilität fanden sich bei Patienten mit therapierefraktären Wunden, nicht aber in der Gruppe, deren Ulzera während des Beobachtungszeitraumes abheilten [29,30]. Diskutiert wurde von den Autoren, dass Patienten mit einer chronischen Wunde einen gesteigerten Metabolismus aufweisen und somit einen höheren Bedarf an unterschiedlichen Nahrungsbestandteilen haben, die teilweise auch durch eine ausgewogene Ernährung nicht ausreichend aufgenommen werden.…”

“…Ein weiterer Zusammenhang könnte zwischen der Mobilitätsein-schränkung und dem überdurchschnittlich erhöhten BMI bestehen. Der negative Einfluss einer Mobilitätseinschränkung auf die Wundheilung und insbesondere bei Patienten mit einem Ulcus cruris venosum, arteriosum oder mixtum wurde bereits mehrfach beschrieben [30].…”
