Tailored diet shows promise for young duchenne patients

This study tested whether a personalized diet could improve nutrition and movement in children aged 4-8 with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). Nine children in Ankara, Turkey, received dietary counseling focused on energy, protein, calcium, and fluid needs. Researchers measured changes in body weight, height, and walking ability. The goal was to see if a disease-specific diet can help manage DMD alongside standard care.
