Gastrointestinal symptoms in middle-aged diabetic patients.

Occurrence of gastrointestinal symptoms was investigated in a questionnaire-based survey of 89 randomly selected patients with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus, 481 patients with noninsulin-dependent diabetes mellitus, and 635 nondiabetic control subjects. The prevalences of upper gastrointestinal symptoms, abdominal pain, diarrhea, and constipation were similar in diabetic patients and control subjects. Women with noninsulin-dependent diabetes mellitus had a significantly higher and women with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus a significantly lower prevalence of gallstone disease than control women (29%, 5%, and 19%, respectively). We conclude that the occurrence and spectrum of gastrointestinal symptoms in middle-aged subjects with insulin- and noninsulin-dependent diabetes mellitus do not differ from those of the general population.

Constipation and the preached trio: diet, fluid intake, exercise.

Annells M, Koch T.

RDNS Helen Macpherson Smith Institute of Community Health, La Trobe University, Australia.

A survey of 90 older community-dwelling people's constipation experience is reported in part. The focus is the participants' efforts to use diet, fluid intake and exercise as preventive strategies. Most feel that they have been preached to in this regard. However, constraints may prevent full adherence to the trio and although some have gained from diet adjustment, the majority is disillusioned about these strategies. Nurses should be aware that scientific and medical literature is discussing evidence that dietary fibre intake preventing constipation is not proven, that fluid intake does not necessarily determine stool bulk or speed colon transit time, and that there is no proven link between exercise levels and chronic constipation.

BACKGROUND: Increased westernization with Japanese migration to the U. S. in the early 20(th) century is thought to have altered the risk of cardiovascular disease. Whether similar effects include changes in the risk of Parkinson's disease (PD) is not clear. This report describes the relations between environmental, life-style, and physical attributes and the incidence of PD that have been observed in the Honolulu-Asia Aging Study. METHODS: Beginning in 1965, environmental, life-style, and physical attributes were recorded at selected examinations in a cohort of 8,006 Japanese-American men. Subjects were followed for clinical PD. FINDINGS: During 30 years of follow- up, PD was observed in 137 men. Overall incidence (7.1/10,000 person-years) was generally higher than in Asia and similar to rates observed in Europe and the U. S. Precursors of PD included constipation, adiposity, years worked on a sugar or pineapple plantation, years of exposure to pesticides, and exposure to sugar cane processing. Factors showing an inverse association with PD included coffee intake and cigarette smoking. Among dietary factors, carbohydrates increased the risk of PD while the intake of polyunsaturated fats appeared protective. Total caloric intake, saturated and monounsaturated fats, protein, niacin, riboflavin, beta-carotene, vitamins A, B, and C, dietary cholesterol, cobalamin, alpha-tocopherol, and pantothenic acid showed no clear relation with clinical PD. INTERPRETATION: Findings suggest that several environmental, life-style, and physical attributes appear to be precursors
