“…According to one study, physical exercise promotes global cognitive function, processing speed, sustained attention, and mental flexibility in individuals diagnosed with PD (da Silva et al, 2018). Several participants described benefits of dietary changes as well, a finding that is consistent with research suggesting that a nutritional diet will improve quality of life and cognitive functioning for patients with PD (Yun, Lim, Woo, Ahn, & Choue, 2012). Many of the participants also developed new hobbies, which created positive experiences and may have promoted optimism.…”

“…In addition, clinicians can help patients with PD gain a sense of mastery in other areas of their life as they lose control to PD symptoms. Lifestyle changes may help PD patients cultivate mastery and experience physical and cognitive benefits (da Silva et al, 2018; Reynolds, 1997; Yun et al, 2012). Furthermore, clinicians can encourage clients with PD to advocate for PD and give to others.…”

Living With Parkinson’s: The Process of Finding Optimism

Individuals with Parkinson’s disease (PD) often experience poor mental and emotional well-being, which negatively affect their quality of life. Optimism is a protective factor which has been shown to promote resiliency, reduce distress in health crises, and protect against the effects of negative mental health outcomes. The current article utilized grounded theory methodology to examine personal accounts ( N = 85) detailing how individuals were able to cultivate optimism despite challenges presented by PD. The grounded theory indicated that a process occurs in which individuals with PD move through the following five phases on their journey toward optimism: (a) diagnosis, (b) initial reactions, (c) adjustment, (d) acceptance, and (e) living with optimism. These findings indicate that individuals with PD often struggle to experience optimism. Nevertheless, by reframing optimism as a choice rather than a feeling, participants were able to make decisions that allowed them to progress on their journey toward optimism.

“…As opposed to depression and HRQoL among people with DM, the issue of nutritional status among people with DM and its impact on QoL has not been fully explored [ 20 ]. Many studies have examined the association between nutritional status and QoL among the adult population, especially the elderly population [ 19 33 ] or elderly people with specific diseases [ 34 35 36 ]. All these studies demonstrated a correlation between better nutritional status and better QoL.…”

The role of nutritional status in the relationship between diabetes and health-related quality of life

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES The association between nutritional status and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) among patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is not fully understood. This study was conducted to understand the role of nutritional status on HRQoL among people with and without T2DM. SUBJECTS/METHODS Structured survey and direct measurement of anthropometric data were conducted among people with and without T2DM. Nutritional status was measured with Mini Nutritional Assessment tool and HRQoL was measured with a 36-item Short Form Healthy Survey. Data collection was conducted in Chuncheon, South Korea with 756 participants who are older than 40 yrs of age. RESULTS This study found that overall HRQoL were significantly lower in people with T2DM than people without T2DM after controlling for key covariates. When stratified by nutritional status, a greater degree of negative impact of T2DM on overall physical HRQoL was observed among well-nourished or at risk of malnutrition, whereas significant and more evident negative impact of diabetes on overall psychological HRQoL was observed only among malnourished. CONCLUSIONS The study results suggest the role of nutritional status among people with T2DM on overall, especially psychological aspects of HRQoL. Future longitudinal or intervention studies are warranted to test the impact of nutritional status on HRQoL among people with T2DM.

“…DQI-I was modified in the present study, since DQI-I was developed for a comparative study between Chinese and American subjects. The modification was based on the dietary guideline for Koreans published by the Korean Nutrition Society [ 21 ], the dietary guideline recommended by Korean Society of Lipidology and Atherosclerosis, and previous researches [ 22 23 24 ]. The DQI-I was composed of four major categories: variety (overall and protein sources; 0-20 points), adequacy (food/nutrient intake required to prevent undernutrition; 0-40 points), moderation (food/nutrient intake quality relative to that associated with chronic disease; 0-30 points), and overall balance (macronutrient ratio and fatty acid composition; 0-10 points).…”

The aim of this study was to examine dietary pattern, nutritional intake, and diet quality of Korean pregnant women with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). Between October 2008 and May 2012, 166 pregnant women diagnosed with GDM completed a questionnaire and dietary intake was assessed using a 3-day food record. Blood pressure, fasting plasma glucose, and glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) concentrations were measured and oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) was performed. Two major dietary patterns ("carbohydrate and vegetable" and "western" patterns) were identified through factor analysis. Dietary pattern scores for each dietary pattern were categorized into tertiles. The dietary quality index-international (DQI-I) was used to measure overall diet quality. Subjects with higher carbohydrate and vegetable pattern scores reported less physical activity (p < 0.05) and have higher diastolic blood pressure levels (p = 0.05). After adjusting for age and energy intake, higher carbohydrate and vegetable pattern scores were associated with higher sodium intakes (p = 0.02), but lower intakes of fat (p = 0.002) and other micronutrients. On the other hand, higher western pattern scores were associated with higher fat intake (p = 0.0001), but lower intakes of sodium (p = 0.01) and other micronutrients. Higher scores for both dietary patterns were associated with lower scores in the moderation category of the DQI-I (p < 0.0001). HbA1c and fasting plasma glucose levels were significantly lower among participants with high DQI-I than those with low DQI-I (p < 0.05). The study findings suggest that many Korean women with GDM do not consume nutritionally adequate or balanced diets, regardless of dietary pattern.
