| Popis: | Energy intake and expenditure were observied in six patients suffering from dementia of the Alzheimer type. Three of those patients walked constantly and three walked only occasionally. Our clinical observation indicates that constant walking (pacing) increases energy demand by 1600 kilocalories/day. The implication of this observation and the nutritional strategies for prevention of metabolic imbalance in these patients are described. |
