Dietary Quality and Nutritional Adequacy Among Vegetarians Attending the European Institute of Oncology
Recruiting now · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Nutritional Deficiencies, Quality of Life
In brief
Despite their health benefits, vegetarian dietary patterns can lead to malnutrition and micronutrient deficiencies if improperly managed, especially in oncological settings. This survey assesses dietary quality and adequacy in 150 women (18-64 years), further examining how a threemonth nutritional counseling intervention influences body composition, physical activity, and quality of life.
