This is a comprehensive review of the literature on dietary patterns and asthma from 1950 to 2014; however, it was limited to studies published in English. Because of the institutional subscription limitation, we did not include Embase as one of the databases searched for this review. Although Scopus overlaps substantially with Embase,62,63 any studies only indexed in Embase would have been missed. The funnel plots suggested no evidence of publication bias. Nonetheless, the meta-analysis was limited by the abovementioned inherent limitations of individual studies, including a low percentage of total variance explained by the dietary patterns, and inconsistent and possibly incomplete adjustment for potential confounders. Regardless of the limitations, this paper shows that the results of existing studies do not reveal a clear and consistent relationship between dietary patterns and asthma outcomes. Although higher adherence to the Mediterranean diet may be associated with reduced asthma risk in children, more well designed and controlled studies are needed to provide solid evidence and explore whether other healthy dietary patterns are associated with asthma outcomes in children and adults.","tracks":[{"project":"2_test","denotations":[{"id":"25143747-16522216-55576561","span":{"begin":424,"end":426},"obj":"16522216"}],"attributes":[{"subj":"25143747-16522216-55576561","pred":"source","obj":"2_test"}]}],"config":{"attribute types":[{"pred":"source","value type":"selection","values":[{"id":"2_test","color":"#93ece1","default":true}]}]}}
