Abstract :

Constipation is a common non-motor problem in Parkinson's patients that affects the quality of life of these patients. Complications of constipation include anal pain and injury, which leads to anal ulcers and hemorrhoids. Many factors are blamed for this matter, which overweight and obesity might affect in these patients as well. Chronic constipation completely affects a person's quality of life. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to find the possible relationship between anthropometric indices and constipation in Parkinson's patients in Iran. The study was performed on 72 Parkinson patients aged 50-80 years with constipation referred to Hazrat Rasoul Akram Hospital in Tehran. Patients were divided into two groups according to the number of bowel movements per week (<3 and ≥3 respectively). Demographic information was collected by a general questionnaire. Anthropometric data were calculated using Seca scales and meters. Body fat percentage and lean body mass were calculated using valid formulas. Data related to physical activity, food intake, number of excretions were collected by valid questionnaires. Based on the present findings, there is no relationship between anthropometric indices and constipation in Parkinson's patients. There is no significant difference in anthropometric indices between the two groups either. No significant difference in food groups between the two groups was observed as well. Anthropometric indices have no effect on constipation in Parkinson's patients. Future studies on the large-scale samples are recommended.
