Sažetak
Parkinson's disease (PD) is one of the neurodegenerative diseases of multifactorial etiology that most often affects people aged 60 and over, predominantly men. Due to the large number of symptoms that precede the diagnosis of PD, which are manifested as various gastrointestinal symptoms, nutrition is considered to play an important role in the development and progression of the disease. A comparison was made between the dietary habits of PD patients and healthy counterparts of the same age, with a special emphasis on the compliance to the Mediterranean diet (MeDi), the diet for the control of hypertension (DASH) and the diet for neuroportection (MIND). The answers of 33 healthy people and 16 PD patients aged 60 were analyzed. Patients with PD had more positive dietary characteristics as compared to healthy counterparts; they have more meals per day (p=0.031), skip meals less often (75% never skip a meal) and their diet is more in line with MeDi, DASH and MIND principles, but the compliance is still extremely poor. The need to educate PD patients about dietary adjustments is necessary to ensure better treatment outcomes and disease progression.
