COPD: Macronutrient Composition (2019)
-
Intervention
Does the macronutrient composition (percentage distribution) of the diet have an effect on outcomes in adults with COPD?
-
Conclusion
Limited evidence showed improvement in lung function (forced vital capacity, tidal volume), but not forced expiratory value in 1 second or vital capacity when adult men with COPD consumed a higher fat (50%), lower carbohydrate (28%) diet.
-
Grade: III
- Grade I means there is Good/Strong evidence supporting the statement;
- Grade II is Fair;
- Grade III is Limited/Weak;
- Grade IV is Expert Opinion Only;
- Grade V is Not Assignable.
- High (A) means we are very confident that the true effect lies close to that of the estimate of the effect;
- Moderate (B) means we are moderately confident in the effect estimate;
- Low (C) means our confidence in the effect estimate is limited;
- Very Low (D) means we have very little confidence in the effect estimate.
- Ungraded means a grade is not assignable.
