Objective: The
aim of this present study was to investigate the eating attitudes of sarcoidosis
patients.
Method: 50
patients with sarcoidosis and 45 healthy individuals without chronic disease
were included to study. All participants evaluated for metabolic syndrome
(MetS) according to National Cholesterol Education Program's Adult Treatment
Panel III (NCEP-ATP III) criteria. Eating Attitude Test (EAT) and Beck
Depression Inventory (BDI) were applied to all participants. All participants
evaluated for metabolic syndrome (MetS). The cut-off scores of the tests were
30 for BDI and 17 for BDI.
Results: When
sarcoidosis cases and control group were evaluated according to EAT and BDI
cut-off scores; it was found that the prevalence of deterioration in eating
behavior was higher in patients with sarcoidosis than healthy controls but the
prevalence of depression was not higher (p=0.018, p=0.874 respectively). We
found that total EAT scores were significantly higher in sarcoidosis patients
who has MetS. MetS(-); EAT: 15±7, MetS(+); EAT: 27±10 p<0.001.
Conclusion: This
study is important to show connection between the sarcoidosis and disordered
eating attitudes. It is not adequate to establish the presence of comorbidities
alone. Defining risk factors leading to comorbidities is also important in
patients with sarcoidosis. If causative factors are detected, controlling them
by a multidisciplinary approach will prevent the onset of comorbidities and
also provide satisfactory management of sarcoidosis.
