RT to RD: NUTRITION NOTES FOR CF & COPD
Vanessa Clark RD, LD
Medical University of South Carolina
DISCLOSURES
I work primarily with cystic fibrosis patients
Food and nutrient-specific research is difficult and multi-layered Cross-sectional analysis vs RCT Foods vs nutrients Diet recalls vs Food frequency vs Serum levels
Reporting accuracy Sometimes I eat cake
A NUMBERS GAME Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease:
WHO predicts that by 2020 COPD will be the 3rd leading cause of death worldwide and will rank 5th for disease burden and chronic disability worldwide
Is among the 3rd leading cause of death in the US
Cystic Fibrosis: Affects 70,000 people worldwide Median survival is in the late 30s (CF Foundation)
Methods of Measurement
Weight = those numbers you see on a scale
BMI = weight / height <18.5 = underweight 18.5-25 = normal >25 = overweight >30 = obese
FFM = Fat Free Mass Water (~73%) Protein Minerals Muscle
COPD: HOW NECESSARY IS NUTRITION?
Body weight and FFM affect exercise tolerance and response, gas trapping, and diffusing capacity
Reduction in FFM is related to…Reduction in peak O2 consumptionReduction in peak work rateReduction in respiratory muscle mass & strength
Earlier lactic acid production Muscle fiber atrophy, particularly type II
COPD: HOW NECESSARY IS NUTRITION?
25-40% of COPD patients experience weight loss
25% of patients with moderate-severe disease have reduced FFM
35% of patients with very severe disease have reduced FFM
45% of COPD pts eligible for pulm rehab are underweight or have depletion of FFM
Malnutrition in 30-60% of inpatients and 10 to 45% of outpatients (BMI <20 or <90% IBW)
COPD: HOW NECESSARY IS NUTRITION?
Decreased weight = decreased lifespan and QOL 2-4 year estimated survival time in patients with severe disease who are lean and have an FEV1% of <50%
BMI <20 is associated with higher exacerbation risk
Skeletal muscle weakness is related to… Worsened health status Increased healthcare costs Increased mortality risk
EXERCISE CAPACITY IN COPD PATIENTS POST-LUNG TRANSPLANT
Williams, T. J., Patterson, G. A., McClean, P. A.,Zamel, N. and Maurer, J. R. (1992) Maximal exercisetesting in single and double lung transplant recipients.Am. Rev. Respir.Dis. 145, 101–105
LIMITATIONS TO BIKING EXERCISE AMONG COPD PATIENTS
Man, W. D., Soliman, M. G., Gearing, J., Radford, S. G.,Rafferty, G. F., Gray, B. J., Polkey, M. I. and Moxham, J.(2003) Symptoms and quadriceps fatigability afterwalking and cycling in chronic obstructive pulmonary
CF: HOW NECESSARY IS NUTRITION? BMI is strongly associated with lung function: Malnourished patients have lower average vital capacity, arterial oxygen partial pressure, and FEV1
Malnutrition among adolescents 12-18 years was associated with an FEV1 drop of ~20%; FEV1 was maintained at >80% in normal weight patients
Patients with FFM depletion have reduction in FEV1 and bone density even if BMI value is maintained
Goals: >50th %ile weight/length for children 0-2y >50th%ile BMI for children 2-20y BMI >23 for male adults BMI >22 for female adults

APPETITE AND INTAKE
Reduction in appetite and intake is common due to:Changes in breathing induced by eating (chewing and swallowing)
Decreased oxygen saturation during mealsIncreased post-prandial dyspnea Mucus accumulation GI distress and coughing induced emesisHormonal irregularities: leptin Anorexia of chronic diseaseAnxiety, depression, psychosocial factors
CALORIES AND PROTEIN Increased energy expenditure caused by:Increased WOBChronic infectionsMedical treatments and therapies
CF: ~120-200% increase in caloric needs~150%-200% increase in protein needs Malabsorption, increased REE, increased WOB
COPD:~95-150% of predicted caloric needs ~150-200% increase in protein needsREE elevation due to: medications, inflammation, activity, inefficient ventilation
MIXING MACRONUTRIENTS
Balanced nutrient and meal profiles:Carbohydrates 40-55% of calories
Fat 30-45% of calories
Protein 15-20% of calories
MACRONUTRIENTS: CARBOHYDRATES
RQ of 1Excessive CO2 production seen with carbohydrate administration has been isolated to cases of energy excess
MACRONUTRIENTS: FATS
Higher caloric load: 9kcal/gIncreased gastric emptying time Malabsorption in CF
MACRONUTRIENTS: PROTEIN
No storage form of protein in the bodyStable: 1.5g/kg body weightAcute: 1.5-2g/kg body weightProtein repletion and muscle preservation is difficult during acute exacerbations
Body prioritizes making other proteins Prealbumin and albumin are poor indicators of nutritional status in an acute setting
Optimize protein status as outpatientProtein Sources: milk, yogurt, meat, fish, shellfish, tofu, poultry, beans, nuts
SNEAK A SNACK: POST-WORKOUT NUTRITION
Both weight and FFM improve with daily nutritional snack provision as a part of a pulmonary rehab program
Better weight gain than with nutrition intervention alone
Improvement in respiratory muscle strength, exercise capacity, health status, and survival rates Strength training in conjunction with nutrition support was an important component of this data
Recommend a protein/carb combo Bonus points for fruit or veg
HIGH CALORIE FOOD ADDITIVES
Mayonnaise Whole milk Whole yogurt Nuts & Nut butters
Full fat dressing Ground nuts Avocado Sour cream Whole milk powder
Oils Coconut, palm for CF
Peanut, olive, safflower, sunflower, canola, etc for COPD
Butter Cheese Heavy cream Chocolate Whipped Cream
ORAL SUPPLEMENTS
“In addition” vs “instead of”Supplements and COPD:
Increases daily caloric intake by ~200-400kcal/day
Produced a weight gain of ~1.8kg (3% body wt)
Increased grip strength by ~5%Supplements and CF:
Limited efficacy Better results with enteral nutrition
ORAL SUPPLEMENTS
High calorie supplement examples Boost Plus Ensure Plus Scandishake Opt2Thrive NutraBalance Homemade Shakes
Peanut Butter & Banana Peanut Butter & Chocolate Frozen Berries with Yogurt & Milk Nutella Greek yogurt, regular yogurt, kefir, ice cream, milk
Protein powder
INFLAMMATION Pulmonary dysfunction as an imbalance between oxidation production and anti-oxidant function Alveolar wall destruction Loss of elastic recoil
Pro-inflammatory cytokines are associated with muscle wasting
Free radicals cause cellular damage through oxidation Increases inflammation
Antioxidants: eliminate oxidants or prevent creation of more toxic compounds Reduces inflammation
YOUR MOM WAS RIGHT
Eat your fruits and vegetables!Increase in fruit and vegetable consumption reduces risk for COPD Possible risk reduction of 24%
Cross-sectional study following patients for 5-7 years found an association between increased fruit and vegetable intake and a higher FEV1 Decrease in consumption was associated with a decrease in FEV1
EDIBLE ANTIOXIDANTS
Omega-3 Fatty Acids (EPA & DHA) Vitamin A (beta-carotene) Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) Vitamin E (alpha-tocopherol) Selenium Flavonoids Ubiquinone (CoQ10)
PREVENTING CATABOLISM: INHIBITING INFLAMMATION
Omega-3 polyunsaturated fats (PUFA) Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA)

PREVENTING CATABOLISM: INHIBITING INFLAMMATION
Omega-3s: Anti-inflammatoryReplaces pro-inflammatory fatty acids in actively inflammatory cells
May decrease production of pro-inflammatory mediator cells and TNF- and interleukin-1
Increased peak exercise capacity & submaximal endurance time seen with adequate intake Caution with supplementation
PREVENTING CATABOLISM: INHIBITING INFLAMMATION Omega-6s:
Linoleic Acid --> Arachidonic acid Present in higher quantities in inflammatory cells

Sunlight!Supplements!
D3
ANABOLIC AGENTS: GLUTAMINE, CARNITINE, CREATINE
Glutamine: Branched-chain amino acid
Possible increse in whole body protein synthesis, increase in body weight and FFM, decrease in blood lactic acid, increase in arterial blood oxygen partial pressure
Creatine: Abundant in meat and fishStudies have been unable to show an improvement in muscle strength, exercise tolerance, or HRQoL with creatine supplementation
ANABOLIC AGENTS: GLUTAMINE, CARNITINE, CREATINE
L-Carnitine: Amino acid derivative Increases energy production by promoting lipid breakdown
RCT demonstrated an increase in inspiratory muscle strength and walk test tolerance; decrease in blood lactate levels
Needs more testing
