Abstract
The possible effect of probiotics consumption on the symptoms and courses of the common cold, influenza, and influenza-like illness was evaluated via a meta-analysis. Probiotic consumption reduced the incidence of the common cold (odds ratio [OR] = 0.50, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.38-0.64, P < .001) and influenza-like illness episodes (OR = 0.24, 95% CI: 0.14-0.40, P < .001) but had no significant effect on decreasing the influenza episodes (OR = 0.91, 95% CI: 0.62-1.35, P = .831). Probiotic supplementation showed a promising beneficial role in the reduction of the episodes and symptoms of the common cold and influenza-like illness.
期刊介绍:
Topics in Clinical Nutrition (TICN) is a peer-reviewed, quarterly journal designed as a resource for the continuing education and clinical practice of dietitians and nutritionists. Each issue addresses topics of interest primarily to dietitians and nutritionists, students and interns in professional training programs and other health care personnel involved in the nutritional care of patients. Articles include translational research reports (work that applies new knowledge to practical effect), practice projects, evidence-based literature reviews, case studies and book reviews, and articles that highlight education theory and applied research which share the tools and techniques of nutrition and dietetics education.
