Sarcopenia, malnutrition, and fatigue in de Novo Parkinson’s disease– support for early rehabilitation
A substantial proportion of de novo PD presented probable sarcopenia. Fatigue was associated with poorer physical performance and appetite but not sarcopenia. Whether fatigue increases risk of future malnutrition/sarcopenia is unclear due to cross-sectional study design. It should be further explored using a longitudinal study design.
