Diet and nutrition: Research papers

Habitual intake of dietary flavonoids and risk of Parkinson disease Study findings suggest that intake of some flavonoids may reduce PD risk, particularly in men, but a protective effect of other constituents of plant foods cannot be excluded. 04 April 2012
The association between Mediterranean diet adherence and Parkinson's disease Higher Mediterranean-type diet adherence was associated with reduced odds for PD after adjustment for all covariates (OR, 0.86; 95% CI, 0.770.97; P = .010). Lower Mediterranean-type diet score was associated with earlier PD age at onset (β = 1.09; P = .006). 07 February 2012
Appetitive motivational deficits in individuals with Parkinson's Disease The current study tested the hypothesis that patients with Parkinson's disease would show a deficit in appetitive motivational arousal. Patients with Parkinson's disease and age-matched healthy controls completed a visual discrimination task in which control and appetitive food images (incidental to the task) were presented in the background. 15 August 2011
Dietary intake of antioxidant vitamins and risk of Parkinson's disease We investigated the relationship between dietary intake of selected antioxidant vitamins, vegetables and fruit and the risk of PD in Japan using data from a multicenter hospital-based casecontrol study. 01 January 2011
Low-protein and protein-redistribution diets for Parkinson's disease patients with motor fluctuations: A systematic review The American Academy of Neurology suggests advising the redistribution of daily protein meal content to every Parkinson's disease (PD) patient with motor fluctuations during levodopa treatment. However, no comprehensive evaluation of this complementary therapy has been performed 15 October 2010
Gum chewing improves swallow frequency and latency in Parkinson patients: a preliminary study To investigate the specificity of in vivo amyloid imaging with Reduced swallowing frequency affects secretion management in Parkinson disease (PD). Gum chewing increases saliva flow and swallow frequency. This study uses chewing gum to modify swallow frequency and latency between swallows in patients with PD. 19 April 2010
