Purpose: The research was conducted to determine the risk of mortality in underweight Alzheimer’s patients and consider nutritional maintenance as an important management approach in Alzheimer’s patients. Methods: This review used publications found in Pubmed, Scopus, Cochrane, and ScienceDirect. The keywords were “((Alzheimer’s Diseased) AND (Underweight) AND (Mortality))”. A meta-analysis review with Revman 5 software calculated the average relative risk from all selected cohort studies. Result: The process identified 230 articles; only three studies with 1423 patients were included. The meta-analysis result showed that underweight patients have a higher risk of mortality than normal weight patients based on their BMI status. (RR: 1.65, 95% CI: 1.32-2.06). Conclusion: Underweight nutritional status in Alzheimer’s patients increases the risk of mortality compared to the individuals with normal nutritional status. Tujuan: Penelitian ini dilakukan untuk menentukan risiko kematian pasien penyakit Alzheimer yang memiliki berat badan kurang dan mempertimbangkan pemeliharaan nutrisi sebagai bagian dari pendekatan tata laksana pasien Alzheimer. Metode: Tinjauan dalam publikasi ini diambil dari Pubmed, Scopus, Cochrane, dan ScienceDirect. Kata kunci yang digunakan ialah “((Alzheimer Diseased) AND (Underweight) AND (Mortality))”. Tinjauan meta-analisis menggunakan perangkat lunak Revman 5 menghitung rata-rata risiko relatif dari semua studi kohort yang dipilih. Hasil: Dari 230 artikel yang berhasil diidentifikasi, 3 studi dengan 1423 pasien dimasukkan dalam studi. Hasil meta-analisis menunjukkan berdasarkan status indeks massa tubuh, bahwa pasien dengan berat badan kurang memiliki risiko mortalitas lebih tinggi daripada pasien dengan berat badan normal (RR: 1,65; 95% CI: 1,32-2,06). Simpulan: Kondisi nutrisi dengan berat badan kurang pada pasien Alzheimer meningkatkan risiko mortalitas dibandingkan dengan individu yang memiliki berat badan normal.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
