title: [Nutritional support in COPD patients' rehabilitation].
abstract: Recovery in COPD includes, as a mandatory stage, the patient's nutritional evaluation, followed by the necessary therapeutic indications. Weight loss has negative effects on the skeletal muscle mass, therefore a kinetic program, without being supported by the appropriate therapy, has a much lower effect. Recent studies show a beneficial effect generated by a high intake of vitamin C, vitamin E, omega-3 fat acid and nutritional supplements. The hormonal therapy is given a controversial place, but it requires extensive studies.
