Research on the lifestyle of people with ME/CFS
Friday 13 March 2009
The Journal of Human Nutrition and Dietetics has published a research paper from The Netherlands comparing people with ME/CFS to the general population there.
Out of 247 ME/CFS patients studied, the main results were that:
• |
23% smoked |
• |
32% had an unhealthy BMI |
• |
none had an unhealthy alcohol intake |
• |
a majority had an unhealthy food intake: 70% had unhealthy fat, fruit and vegetable intake, and 95% had unhealthy fiber intake |
And compared to the general population:
• |
significantly fewer CFS patients were overweight |
• |
significantly more female CFS patients abstained from alcohol |
• |
fewer male CFS patients smoked |
The abstract of the research is available here:
