description |
Although people with hyperphagia show significantly more patterns of stereotyped behaviour than matched demented controls the prolonged period of eating does not seem to be due to a stereotypy but to a delay in the satiation mechanism. Hyperphagia typically occurs in the middle stages of the dementing illness and lasts for a mean of about three years. These studies demonstrated that subjects with dementia who are hyperphagic have a major disturbance in the mechanisms controlling satiation, hunger, food choice and satiety. |
