Effects of Chocolate Consumption in the Nutritional State, Quality of Life, Body Composition, Oxidative Stress and Inflammatory Activity in Elderly Patients With Cancer in Palliative Care

Evaluation by Mini Nutritional Assessment, by the 24-hour Recall Survey, and by the Food Frequency Questionnaire at the basal moment and after 4 weeks of intervention.

Evaluation of ingestion by the 24-hour Recall Survey and by the Food Frequency Questionnaire at the basal moment and after 4 weeks of intervention.

Body composition was evaluated by the deuterium oxide method at the basal moment and after 4 weeks.

The European Organization for Cancer Research and Treatment Questionnaire was administered before and after the intervention of 4 weeks.

The antioxidant capacity was evaluated by the quantification of reduced glutathione and ascorbic acid. Serum lipid peroxidation was measured by determining malonaldehyde levels and the presence and quantification of damage to genetic material by 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine levels. All measurements were performed before and after 4 weeks of intervention.

Inflammatory status was evaluated by serum Interleukin 6 levels and C Reactive Protein evaluated before and after the intervention.
