About this trial

The risk factors for liver cirrhosis are well identified and primarily include excessive and prolonged alcohol consumption, as well as metabolic syndrome or infection with hepatitis B and C viruses. However, the factors that can predict the progression of the disease are still largely unknown. The role of nutritional factors, in particular, has been insufficiently studied in chronic liver diseases such as cirrhosis. Beyond malnutrition and nutritional deficiencies, whose roles have been well studied, it appears that other nutritional factors, such as adherence to dietary recommendations that consider the consumption of various food groups, have been little studied in patients with liver cirrhosis. Studies involving a large number of participants are essential to better describe the typical nutritional profiles of these patients, taking into account their diet, as well as their alcohol consumption and physical activity.

Therefore, the main aim of the Nutri-CIRR project is to identify and characterize typical profiles of patients with hepatic cirrhosis in terms of nutritional factors (diet, alcohol consumption and physical activity) and smoking status.
