1 Unintentional Weight Loss Prof. G. Zuliani
2 Is weight loss clinically important? Definition Clinically important weight loss can be defined as loss of >5 kg, or >5% of usual weight over a period of 3 months, or >10% loss in 6 months Why it s important? Unintentional weight loss may reflect disease severity of a chronic illness or a yet undiagnosed illness. Even after adjusting for the comorbidities, weight loss of 5% or more of body weight is associated with increased mortality (approx. RR: 1.6)
3 Unintentional Weight Loss: prognosis
4 Unintentional Weight Loss Prevalence estimates of weight loss are quite variable: 15-20% of elderly patients experience weight loss (defined as loss of >5 kg or 5% body weight over 5-10 years) The prevalence can be as high as 25% in high-risk populations such as the Frail Elders The incidence of unintentional weight loss in clinical studies of adults seeking health care is also quite variable Depending on the setting and definition it varies from 1.5 to 8%
5 What are the common causes of unintentional weight loss? Causes of unintentional weight loss can classified into 3 broad groups: 1. Organic 2. Psychosocial 3. Idiopathic (up to 10-35% of cases)
6 1. Organic causes of unintentional weight loss Organic Causes: top three Malignancy (16-36%) Usually it s clear from the history, physical, or routine lab data that malignancy is a potential cause Gastrointestinal (most common non-malignant organic cause (6-19%) Peptic ulcer, IBD, hepatobiliary/pancreatic disease, oral problems, celiac disease Endocrine (4-11%) Diabetes, thyroid disease, adrenal insufficiency
7 Elders oral problems = malnutrition
8 Older oral problems
9 1. Organic causes of unintentional weight loss Organic causes (less common): Cardiovascular disease - CHF (2-9%) Respiratory disease (~6% - COPD) Renal disease (~4%) Neurologic disorder (2-7%) Chronic infections (2-5%) Drugs side effects (~2%)
10 Pink Puffer
11 Drugs and unintentional weight loss
12 2. Psycosocial causes of unintentional weight loss Psychosocial Causes Psychiatric disorder (9-42%) Depression, anxiety Dementia (2-5%) Poor nutritional intake Due to poverty or inadequate access to meals (e.g. disability in IADLs and ADLs)
13 2. Psycosocial causes of unintentional weight loss Psychosocial Causes Depression and dementia are poorly recognized in clinical practice All elderly patients with weight loss should undergo screening for: dementia with the MMSE depression with the Geriatric Depression Scal (GDS) Screen for malnutrition with MNA or one validated tools (ENS or SCREEN)

18 Unintentional Weight Loss
19 Unintentional Weight Loss Several concepts emerge from etiologic studies of unintentional weight loss: Among organic causes Cancer is most common Etiology of weight loss is evident without extensive evaluation in most of patients Psychiatric illness and non-diagnostic evaluations are common Remember drugs side effects!
20 Approach to Weight Loss Weight Loss (>5% body wt) Voluntary (always ask!): dieting, anorexia/bulimia Increased Appetite: DM, malabsorption, hyperthyroidism Unvoluntary Idiopathic Decreased Appetite Organic Psychiatric: depression, dementia Cancer Non cancer GI Endocrine Infectious Medications CVD Neurologic Pulmonary Renal

23 Unintentional Weight Loss The diagnostic utility of the medical history and physical examination in identifying the cause of weight loss has not been sistematically evaluated The same about screening investigations Despite the lack of systematic evaluation, a complete history, physical examination, and selected routine investigations are recommended!
24 Unintentional Weight Loss Routine Investigations CBC CXR Biochemistry (lytes, glucose, Ca, PO4, BUN, CRP, OBR-RSO, celiac test) TSH Liver enzymes Urinalysis
25 Unintentional Weight Loss Additional tests are ordered as clinically indicated: Serum Proteins Electrophoresis Mammogram, PSA GI investigations (if there are symptoms, microcytic anemia, or abnormal liver enzymes) Gastroscopy or colonoscopy plus biopsies Stool analysis Celiac serology Abdominal imaging HIV test
26 PSICOLOGICAL FACTORS UNDERLYING DISEASE
27 Unintentional Weight Loss Reassess weight after 2-3 months If it remains stable or goes up: further assessment is not necessary If she/he is continuing to lose weight: repeat the evaluation process, with emphasis on searching for an organic or psychosocial cause
28 PSICOLOGICAL FACTORS UNDERLYING DISEASE Alibhai, S. M.H. et al. CMAJ
29 Alibhai, S. M.H. et al. CMAJ
30 Unintentional Weight Loss: Final Summary Unintentional weight loss is a common concern especially in the elderly Common causes can be grouped into 3 categories: organic, psychosocial, or idiopathic Psychosocial causes are often under-appreciated by clinicians Extensive investigations are not always necessary Exclude drugs side effects and voluntary weight loss!
