The association between diet quality and the odds of Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
By Vijay Kumar MalesuOct 26 2023Reviewed by Lily Ramsey, LLM In a recent study published in BMC Public Health, researchers investigated the association between diet quality measured by the Healthy Eating Index-2010 score and the odds of Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in the Iranian population.
While the HEI assesses diet quality and is related to conditions like obesity and diabetes, its connection to COPD is uncharted. To ensure data accuracy, various exclusions were applied to potential participants based on various health conditions. Study results Several observations were made in the present study, evaluating the characteristics and dietary habits of cases and controls. The study revealed that cases frequently had a history of pulmonary conditions and were less inclined towards physical activity, education, and employment.
Regarding smoking, cases in the top HEI-2010 quartile were more frequent smokers but less likely to be non-smokers, whereas controls in this quartile were less likely to smoke or use water pipes and more likely to be non-smokers, also known as passive smokers.
