Can a High-Fat diet fight muscle wasting in hospitalized pneumonia patients?
NCT ID NCT07308483
Summary
This study is testing if a special low-carbohydrate, high-fat diet (ketogenic diet) is better than standard hospital food at helping older adults with pneumonia keep their muscle strength and function while they recover in the hospital. Researchers will compare the two diets in 30 patients over 55 years old to see which one is safer, more practical, and better at preventing muscle loss. The goal is to find a new way to help patients recover faster and avoid long-term physical decline after a serious infection.
