本発明は、消化器系疾患などの器質的疾患や、風邪、発熱、睡眠不足、ストレスなどの一過性の症状には関連しない、重度な食欲不振による栄養の経口摂取量の慢性的な低下に基づく低栄養状態にある患者の食欲不振改善のための薬剤に関する。 The present invention relates to chronic reductions in oral intake of nutrition due to severe anorexia, not related to organic diseases such as gastrointestinal diseases, and transient symptoms such as colds, fever, lack of sleep, and stress. It relates to a drug for improving anorexia in patients with malnutrition based on the drug.
日本人の平均寿命は、男性で78歳、女性で85歳に達しており、日本は世界に誇る長寿国である。それだけに今後、高齢者がいかに健康的に余生を送ることができるかは我が国にとって重要なテーマである。ヒトは「老化」という自然のプロセスによって体重や筋肉の減少、活動性や体力の低下をきたし、いわゆる「虚弱」という状態になっていくが、その結果として「寝たきり状態」になるかならないかの分かれ目は、「食欲不振による栄養の経口摂取量の慢性的な低下に基づく低栄養状態」に至るかそうでないかによるところが大きい。
「低栄養状態」とは、栄養状態を表現する指標が一定水準以下の場合を意味し、その指標としては、Body Mass Index(BMI)を代表とする身体組成パラメータや、血清アルブミン値や血清コレステロール値などの血液データが用いられる。近年、血清アルブミン値や血清コレステロール値の低下が、余命と生活身体的機能障害の予知因子であるとされている。これらは低栄養マーカーとして機能し、前者が3.5g/dL以下の場合および/または後者が150mg/dLの場合、低栄養状態にあると判断できる。
高齢者(例えば70歳以上)は健常成人に比較して低栄養状態になりやすい。その原因としては、認知機能障害(記憶・記銘力障害、集中力障害、遂行機能障害、判断力低下等)などの高次脳機能障害(大脳皮質部の障害)に起因して、「食事に対して口を開かない」、「食事を前にすると寝てしまう」といった慢性的な食欲不振の症状が現れやすいことが挙げられる。このような症状が現れると、自発的な摂食が困難になり、もともと体力の予備が少ないため、すぐに低栄養状態に陥る。
いったん陥った低栄養状態から脱却することは、現在の姑息的な対症療法(輸液や経管・栄養チューブ挿入による栄養補充療法)では難しく、ほとんどの人がそこから脱却できず、「寝たきり状態」になっていく。欧米の報告では、入院高齢者で蛋白質・エネルギー低栄養状態(Protein Energy Malnutrition:PEM)を呈する率は20〜50%、ナーシング・ホーム入所者でも30〜50%と高率である(非特許文献1)。日本においても、入院高齢者の約30%、平均年齢が80〜82歳の場合約40%で血清アルブミン値が3.5g/dL以下であるとの報告がある(非特許文献2)。さらに、在宅診療を受けている高齢者の32〜35%が、また、施設入所者の約40%がPEMである(非特許文献2)。
病院における外来診療の現場では、「まるっきり食べなくなった」といって家族に連れられてくる高齢者がおり、食べなくなった理由を追求すると、食欲不振が消化器系疾患など原因疾患に基づかない場合がたびたびある。このような高齢者は、入院して末梢静脈からの点滴治療を受けることで脱水状態は改善するものの、その後も食事摂取量の改善は認められず、多くの患者は、いつかは中心静脈栄養法に切り替わり、その後、経管や栄養チューブ挿入による栄養補充療法を行わざるをえなくなるといった経緯をたどる。患者はそのような治療を受けるためにベッドに臥床していることが多く、その結果、次第に筋力が衰え、ほとんどが「寝たきり状態」に移行し、誤嚥性肺炎や転倒・骨折など様々な病態を呈していく。高齢者の低栄養状態は、明らかに、疾患治癒率、合併症の程度、合併症発症率、死亡率、入院期間の延長、褥創などの老年症候群の発生といった身体的機能に悪影響を及ぼす。
以上のような事実に鑑みると、老年症候群になるまさにその入り口が「食欲不振による栄養の経口摂取量の慢性的な低下に基づく低栄養状態」であると言える。このような高齢者の慢性的な食欲不振による低栄養状態は、身体的機能や認知機能と密接に関係しており、「寝たきり状態」を引き起こし、ひいては死に直結する問題である。これは、健常人によくある一時的な理由からくる「食事がのどを通らない」といった一過性の食欲減退とは根本的に異なる次元のものである。いったん陥った低栄養状態からの脱却が非常に難しいことは前述の通りであり、今のところ輸液や経管・栄養チューブ挿入による栄養補充療法以外にその対処方法は存在しない。従って、高齢者自らに食べる意欲を出させ、自らの口で食物を摂取し、低栄養状態から脱却させることができれば画期的なことであるが、残念ながらそのような治療方法が提案されるには至っていない。
The “undernutrition state” means a case where an index expressing the nutritional state is below a certain level, and the index includes body composition parameters such as Body Mass Index (BMI), serum albumin level and serum cholesterol. Blood data such as values are used. In recent years, a decrease in serum albumin level or serum cholesterol level is considered to be a predictor of life expectancy and physical disabilities. These function as undernutrition markers, and when the former is 3.5 g / dL or less and / or the latter is 150 mg / dL, it can be determined that they are undernutrition.
Elderly people (for example, 70 years or older) are more likely to be undernourished than healthy adults. The cause is due to higher brain dysfunction (disorders of the cerebral cortex) such as cognitive dysfunction (memory / memory impairment, concentration disorder, executive dysfunction, decline in judgment, etc.) In other words, the symptoms of chronic loss of appetite are likely to appear, such as “I do not open my mouth” and “I fall asleep before eating”. When such symptoms appear, it becomes difficult to eat voluntarily, and because of the lack of physical strength reserves, it immediately falls into a state of undernutrition.
It is difficult to get out of the undernourishment once it has fallen, with current palliative symptomatic treatment (nutritional supplementation therapy by infusion or tube / feeding tube insertion), and most people are unable to get out of it and are “bedridden” It will become. According to reports in Europe and the United States, the rate of protein energy malnutrition (PEM) in hospitalized elderly is 20-50%, and nursing home residents also have a high rate of 30-50% (non-patent literature). 1). In Japan, there is a report that about 30% of hospitalized elderly people and about 40% when the average age is 80-82 years old and the serum albumin level is 3.5 g / dL or less (Non-Patent Document 2). Furthermore, 32 to 35% of elderly people receiving home medical care and about 40% of facility residents are PEM (Non-patent Document 2).
In the outpatient clinic at the hospital, there are elderly people who are brought to their families saying `` I have completely eaten up '', and when I pursue the reason why I have stopped eating, if anorexia is not based on a causative disease such as a digestive system disease There are often. Although such elderly people are hospitalized and receive intravenous infusion treatment to improve dehydration, their dietary intake has not improved, and many patients have some time to undergo central parenteral nutrition. After that, the history of having to perform nutrition replacement therapy by inserting a tube or feeding tube is followed. Patients are often bedridden to receive such treatment, and as a result, their muscle strength gradually declines, and most of them transition to a bedridden state, and various pathological conditions such as aspiration pneumonia, falls, and fractures Presents. Undernutrition in the elderly clearly affects physical functions such as disease cure rate, degree of complications, complication rate, mortality, prolonged hospitalization, and occurrence of geriatric syndromes such as wounds.
In view of the above facts, it can be said that the very entrance to senile syndrome is “undernutrition based on chronic decrease in oral intake of nutrition due to anorexia”. Such an undernutrition state due to chronic anorexia of the elderly is closely related to physical function and cognitive function, causing a “bedridden state” and thus directly leading to death. This is a dimension that is fundamentally different from a transient loss of appetite, such as “the meal does not pass through” that comes from temporary reasons often found in healthy people. As described above, it is very difficult to get out of the malnutrition once it has fallen, and so far there is no coping method other than nutrient replacement therapy by infusion or tube / feeding tube insertion. Therefore, it is epoch-making if the elderly can motivate themselves, eat food with their own mouth, and get out of the undernutrition, but unfortunately such a treatment method is proposed It has not reached.
そこで本発明は、消化器系疾患などの器質的疾患や、風邪、発熱、睡眠不足、ストレスなどの一過性の症状には関連しない、重度な食欲不振による栄養の経口摂取量の慢性的な低下に基づく低栄養状態にある患者、とりわけ高齢者の低栄養状態の回復を図ることを目的とした食欲不振を改善するための薬剤を提供することを目的とする。 Therefore, the present invention relates to chronic oral intake of nutrients due to severe anorexia, which is not related to organic diseases such as digestive diseases and transient symptoms such as colds, fever, lack of sleep, and stress. It is an object of the present invention to provide a drug for improving anorexia for the purpose of recovering malnutrition of a patient, particularly an elderly person, who is undernutrition based on a decrease.
本発明者らは、上記の点に鑑みて鋭意研究を進めた結果、食欲不振による栄養の経口摂取量の慢性的な低下に基づく低栄養状態にある高齢者にブラックペッパー精油を経鼻吸入投与したところ、食欲不振が改善され、低栄養状態の回復を図ることができることを見出した。ブラックペッパー精油は、特開平4−149135号公報に食欲増進性精油として紹介されているが、ここではあくまで健常者のストレスなどによる一過性の食欲減退の改善しか対象とされておらず、低栄養状態を引き起こすほどの重度な食欲不振は対象とされていない。よって、もちろん低栄養状態を回復させるかどうかといった検討もなされていない。また、食欲増進の評価は単に被験者の自覚症状によって行われているに過ぎず、学術文献的にも科学的な裏づけがない。特開2004−300103号公報にはブラックペッパー精油が嚥下障害改善剤の有効成分となることが記載されているが、嚥下障害は食物をうまく飲み込めない状態を意味するので、食欲があるかどうかとは関係しない。従って、ブラックペッパー精油を用いることにより、重度な食欲不振による低栄養状態にある患者の食欲不振を改善し、低栄養状態の回復を図ることで、輸液や経管・栄養チューブ挿入による栄養補充療法からの脱却が可能となること、また、低栄養状態に付随する感染、褥創、転倒による骨折などの老年症候群のリスクを減らすことが可能となること、これにより介護者の負担軽減や医療費の抑制も可能となることなどを明らかにした今般の本発明者らによる研究成果は、これらの先行特許からは導き出し得ないものであると言える。 As a result of conducting extensive research in view of the above points, the present inventors have conducted nasal inhalation administration of black pepper essential oil to elderly people in an undernutrition state based on a chronic decrease in oral intake of nutrition due to anorexia. As a result, it was found that the loss of appetite was improved and the recovery of the malnutrition state could be achieved. Black pepper essential oil is introduced as an appetite-enhancing essential oil in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 4-149135, but here it is only intended for improvement of temporary loss of appetite due to stress of healthy subjects. Anorexia severe enough to cause nutritional status is not addressed. Thus, of course, no examination has been made as to whether or not to restore undernutrition. Moreover, appetite enhancement is evaluated only by the subjective symptoms of the subject, and there is no scientific support in the academic literature. Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2004-300103 describes that black pepper essential oil is an active ingredient of an agent for improving dysphagia, but dysphagia means a state in which food cannot be swallowed well. Does not matter. Therefore, the use of black pepper essential oil improves anorexia in patients who are undernourished due to severe loss of appetite and recovers from undernutrition. And the risk of geriatric syndrome such as infections, wounds, and fractures caused by falls associated with undernutrition can be reduced. It can be said that the present research results by the present inventors, which have clarified that suppression of the above, is possible, cannot be derived from these prior patents.
