O06 - The Chelsea, asthma and fresh fruit intake in children (CHAFFINCH) trial – pilot study
نویسندگان
چکیده
Background Observational evidence suggests that intake of fruits, and of dietary antioxidants would be protective against symptoms and severity of asthma in children. Intervention studies with single or combined antioxidant supplements have so far been disappointing. To date, there have been no interventions using fresh fruit on asthmatic children. We plan to carry out a 3 month randomised controlled trial (RCT) in 360 children, to establish whether increasing fruit intake could be useful in the management of childhood asthma.
