Perception on Food and Dietary Habits among Autoimmune Patients

Author(s) Cynthia Wilson
Country India
Abstract The beginning of autoimmune diseases is becoming more prevalent globally and in India. Globally 1 out of 5 individuals are diagnosed with an autoimmune condition. Not much research, though, are being done in this field of science. This study was conducted to evaluate the perception on foods and dietary habits among autoimmune patients. The survey was conducted by interviewing 100 female subjects belonging to age group 25-70 years, individuals having a diagnosis of an autoimmune condition using a self-validated questionnaire. Information collected was statistically analyzed and according to the findings, among 100 subjects, 57% from them were diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) and a diagnosis of systemic lupus erythematosus was made in 23%. (SLE). There was a finding that the subjects had a positive perception on consuming turmeric, ginger and garlic but had negative perception on refined wheat
flour or Maida, milk and milk products, egg and especially on processed and fried foods. Thus, it may be concluded that perception of food can be influenced by previous experiences with the foods or advice given by family, peers or even by social media. The survey also included certain Environmental and lifestyle factors which influenced an increase in autoimmune disorders. These findings can be used to spread awareness on the several food varieties that, depending on the experiences and opinions of the study's participants, may either cause a weakened immune response or offer comfort.
Keywords Keywords: Autoimmune Diseases, Self-validated questionnaire, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Systemic Lupus Erythematosus, Perceptions, Negative immune response.
