Abstract

This review focuses on the role of dietary factors in the pathogenesis of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Reduced pulmonary function and indicators of airway obstruction have been shown to be strong indicators of mortality; therefore, a link with diet in the pathogenesis of these diseases would have important public health implications. The results of the studies identified in the review suggest that people who have a diet rich in fruit and vegetables have a lower risk of poor respiratory health, and that this may be due to the antioxidant nutrients these foods contain. On the basis of the evidence, it seems justified to promote a healthy diet, high in fruits, vegetables, and whole grain foods and low in alcohol and fatty foods, as set out in existing guidelines for prevention of cardiovascular disease and cancer, to protect respiratory health in both children and adults.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
