METHODS: A form with the European Organization for the Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire, which contains specific scores for physical, cognitive, emotional, symptomatic, and functional performance, was made available in a Facebook support group. Afterward, the data were analyzed using linear regression and a t-test of independent samples using Jamovi version 2.3.24 (retrieved from https://www.jamovi.org).
RESULTS: There was a low number of participants who followed the ketogenic diet or intermittent fasting. In general, adherence to the diets was good. In the t-test, diets showed improvement in physical performance. Linear regression correlated treatment with chemotherapy, metastases, and bad diet adherence with worse symptomatic scores.
CONCLUSIONS: There is evidence that diets can improve the symptoms of these patients; however, there is no consensus about which diet produces the best effect, requiring further studies on this subject.
方法:欧洲癌症研究和治疗组织的生活质量问卷,其中包含特定的物理分数,认知,情感,症状,和功能性能,已在Facebook支持小组中提供。之后,使用Jamovi2.3.24版(检索自https://www.jamovi.org)。
结果:遵循生酮饮食或间歇性禁食的参与者人数较少。总的来说,坚持饮食是好的。在t检验中,饮食显示出身体表现的改善。线性回归与化疗治疗相关,转移,和不良的饮食依从性与更差的症状评分。
结论:有证据表明饮食可以改善这些患者的症状;然而,关于哪种饮食产生最佳效果尚未达成共识,需要对这个问题进行进一步的研究。
