Due to the rapid evolution of research on this topic, it is worth performing a comprehensive literature review. One recently published meta-analysis of eight cross-sectional studies in children concluded that the Mediterranean diet might protect against ever asthma and current wheeze.14 To date, no reviews of dietary pattern studies in adult asthma have been published. The objectives of this research were to systematically review the up-to-date findings on the effects of dietary patterns on asthma outcomes in adults and children as well as the effects of maternal dietary patterns on asthma outcomes in children, and to conduct a meta-analysis of published studies examining the effect of dietary patterns on asthma prevalence in adults."}
