OBJECTIVE: to evaluate protein intake, @entity1568 balance and nutritional status of clinically stable @entity1 with @entity191 ( @entity191 ). METHODS: a cross-sectional study of @entity191 @entity1 Hoehn- Yahr scale stage 1-3 and subjects with no @entity16 (controls) matched for age and gender. All @entity1 underwent a diet history interview, anthropometric measurements, bioelectrical impedance and food record over three non-consecutive days, including a weekend. A 24-hour urine collection and fasting @entity1503 sampling were collected from the @entity1 for evaluation of @entity1011 clearance, @entity1011 height index and the @entity1568 balance. RESULTS: the mean age of @entity191 @entity1 was 58.9    12.8 year compared to 54.7    12.6 year of the controls, P = 0.34. One third of @entity191 group had symptoms of @entity1282 and ingested less water and fibers when compared to controls. @entity291 circumference was small in @entity191 group (35.5    2.8 vs. 38.4    3.5 cm, P = 0.012). Intake of @entity1568 was significantly lower and @entity1568 balance was negative in @entity191 @entity1 (-1.8    3.9 vs. 1.1    4.2 controls, P = 0.06). The antioxidants @entity1501 and @entity270 were consumed in small amounts in both groups, although significantly less in @entity191 @entity1 (P = 0.04 and 0.03, respectively). DISCUSSION: daily intakes of protein of approximately 1.1 g/kg by clinically stable @entity191 @entity1 may not be enough to ensure a neutral calorie- @entity1568 balance and muscle tissue conservation. Larger studies are necessary to provide a more comprehensive picture of @entity191 @entity1 ' metabolic status.
