Overview

Systematic review and meta-analysis reveals nutritional strategies improve phase angle and handgrip strength in cancer patients, indicating their value as nutritional and functional indicators.

Key Points

  • To analyze the impact of diverse nutritional strategies on phase angle, handgrip strength, and secondary nutritional markers such as body weight and body mass index in cancer patients.
  • Systematic review and meta-analysis searching PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane, and Scopus databases up to March 2023.
  • Risk of bias was evaluated using the Cochrane RoB 2.0 tool across 8 randomized clinical trials encompassing 606 cancer patients.
  • Nutritional strategies led to a statistically significant increase in phase angle (SMD: 0.43; 95% CI: 0.10 to 0.77; p = 0.01; I2 = 65.63%).
  • Handgrip strength increased significantly following nutritional interventions (SMD: 0.27; 95% CI: 0.08 to 0.47; p = 0.01; I2 = 30.70%).
