BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: The level of serum albumin is an index of nourishment care and management. However, the distribution and correlates of serum albumin levels among individuals with motor disorders have not been reported until now. Therefore, we examined the distribution and correlates of serum albumin levels among individuals with motor disorders. SUBJECTS/METHODS: A cross-sectional study on 249 individuals with motor disabilities (144 men, mean age: 51.4 years; 105 women, mean age: 51.4 years) was conducted at five institutions in Ibaraki Prefecture, Japan in 2008. The results were compared with data from the National Health and Nutrition Survey. RESULTS: The mean serum albumin levels were 4.0 ± 0.4 g/dL for men and 3.8 ± 0.5 g/dL for women. Overall, 17 (11.8%) men and 25 (23.8%) women had hypoalbuminemia (serum albumin level ≤ 3.5 g/dL); these proportions were greater than those among healthy Japanese adults (≤ 1%). Low serum albumin level was related with female sex, older age, low calf circumference, low relative daily energy intake, low hemoglobin (Hb), low blood platelet count, low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), low HbA1c, and high C-reactive protein (CRP) levels. The strongest correlates, based on standardized betas, were Hb (0.321), CRP (-0.279), and HDL-C (0.279) levels. CONCLUSIONS: These results indicate that the prevalence of hypoalbuminemia is higher in individuals with motor disabilities than in healthy individuals and that inflammation is a strong negative correlate of serum albumin levels. Therefore, inflammation should be examined for the assessment of hypoalbuminemia among institutionalized individuals with motor disabilities.

Background: Parkinson`s disease (PD) is increasingly recognized as multidimensional disorder. In addition to classic motor symptoms, patients have a variety of non-motor symptoms (NMS) that substantially affect quality of life (QoL). However, the prevalence of NMS and the relative impact of non-motor symptoms on QoL in PD have not been well documented in Japanese PD patients. In this study, we have the following objectives: 1) To determine the prevalence of NMS in Japanese PD patients. 2) To study the impact of NMS on the QoL in Japanese PD patients. Methods: This was a multi-center cross-sectional epidemiologic study. We recruited outpatients from seven Neurology departments at general hospitals across Japan between October 2010 and September 2011. A total of 824 Japanese PD patients was included in this study. NMS of patients was evaluated by Non-Motor Symptoms Scale (NMSS). Parkinson`s Disease Questionnaire-39 (PDQ-39) was used to evaluate the QoL of PD patients. Multivariate analyses were used to evaluate the direct impact of NMSs on QoL using PDQ-39, after adjusting for age, sex, disease duration, and the Unifi ed Parkinson`s Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS) Part I, Part II, Part III and Part IV. Results: The mean of total NMSS score was 37.4±35.4. The highly prevalent NMSS domains were sleep/fatigue (87.6%) and urinary (86.1%). The highly prevalent NMSS items were nocturia (72.0%) and constipation (71.6%). In multivariate analyses after adjustment for age, sex, disease duration, UPDRS Part I, Part II, Part III, and Part IV, total score of NMSS has statistical signifi cance with PDQ-39 (p=0.00, ß=0.16, Adj-R squared=0.65). Conclusions: NMS were highly prevalent in Japanese PD patients. NMS have a direct negative impact on QoL in Japanese PD patients.
