The purpose of this study was to clarify the energy expenditure of dementia patients with wandering symptoms. Results of a time study to monitor daily activities of a dementia patient, who had been wandering for hours and losing weight, clearly indicated excessive energy expenditure.Hypoalbuminemia was found in 42.6% of institutionalized elderly people with cognitive dysfunction. On the other hand, frail elderly people that had taken all meals based on an adequate nutritional assessment and had been in good mental health maintained energy intake and energy expenditure well-balanced, and no hypoalbuminemia was found in them.

本研究的目的是阐明痴呆患者的能量消耗与游荡症状。对一名痴呆症患者进行的一项时间研究显示，该患者已经徘徊了数小时并减轻了体重，监测其日常活动的结果清楚地表明能量消耗过多，42.6%的患有认知功能障碍的机构化老年人出现低白蛋白血症。另一方面，根据充分的营养评估进食所有膳食并且精神健康状况良好的体弱老年人保持能量摄入和能量消耗平衡，没有发现低白蛋白血症。
