Abstract

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a serious public health problem worldwide, whose statistics have unfortunately been increasing, projected to be the third cause of death in the year 2030. The nutrition of a patient with COPD is decisive to ensure a good prognosis of recovery, so an adequate, comprehensive and timely evaluation should be made to all patients with this diagnosis and a low-carbohydrate and high-fat dietary regimen should be indicated. There is evidence that the use of nutritional supplements would improve quality of life in people with COPD.
