The missing piece of the puzzle - The key role of the dietitian in the management of Parkinson's disease

Copyright © 2024 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved..

The current paradigm for the multidisciplinary management of Parkinson's Disease (PD) does not include regular nutritional assessment despite research showing that 90 % of people living with Parkinson's (PwP) lack access to basic dietetic services. Since many non-motor symptoms such as dysphagia, constipation and orthostatic hypotension and PD complications such as weight loss and sarcopenia can be improved through dietary intervention, dietitians are a critical missing piece of the PD management puzzle. This paper serves to review the role of dietitians and medical nutrition therapy in management of PD as well as a call to action for future studies to investigate improvement of nutritional status and quality of life for all PwP.
