University of Florida103 enrolled

Overview

This is a single center, cross-sectional, non-interventional study aimed at the nutritional intake of long-term health of allogeneic or autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) survivors.

Higher rates of comorbidity among hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) survivors support the need for lifestyle interventions that target this vulnerable population. Comprehensive evaluation of the nutrient intake will provide adequate information necessary for develop of a targeted nutritional intervention in order to achieve specific nutritional need and improve long-term health of HSCT survivors. The cross-sectional design of this study has been selected for the timely collection of subject reported nutrient intake data. The intended study is strictly observational.
