UrduThe “Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics: 2020 Cystic Fibrosis Evidence Analysis Center Evidence-Based Nutrition Practice Guideline” was published in a recent issue of the Journal of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. This guideline is the first of its kind, addressing new medications and increased risk of obesity among some people with cystic fibrosis.
The Academy conducted an evidence-based review of current scientific literature and created a guideline with 28 nutrition recommendations for RDNs. They include medical nutrition therapy, nutrition screening and assessments and individualized meal planning to improve health and stem the progression of the disease.
“Historically, people with cystic fibrosis were prescribed a diet of high-fat, high-energy foods to help fulfill their body’s increased nutrient needs and decreased nutrient absorption. This dietary pattern may contribute to negative nutritional outcomes, specifically malnourishment or obesity,” said registered dietitian nutritionist Sonya Angelone, a national Spokesperson for the Academy.
“Within the last decade, new medications and therapies have improved treatments for patients with cystic fibrosis, extending their lives and improving their quality of life,” Angelone said. “The Academy’s nutrition practice guideline will provide RDNs with a roadmap for creating personalized nutritional plans to help those with cystic fibrosis live healthier lives.”
