The goal of this randomized clinical trial is to test the efficacy of self-management support based exercise combine nutrition intervention in lung cancer patient with cancer cachexia anorexia syndrome . The main question it aims to answer is: • Would exercise combine nutrition intervention improve lung cancer patients' nutrition status? Participants will make custom exercise plan and eat enough protein food after self-management support based education. And there is a comparison group: Researchers will compare comparison group to see nutrition status who receive routine health education.

NOT_YET_RECRUITINGChange form Minimal Nutrition Assessment(MNA) at 12 weeks
The MNA consists of 18 self- reported questions. Each question has different score and marked near the answer. The first part of MNA is six questions about ingestion, weight loss, current mobility, an acute illness or major stress, a neuropsychological problem, and a decrease in body mass index. The second part evaluates living arrangements, the presence of polypharmacy or pressure ulcers, the number of full meals eaten daily, the amount and frequency of specific foods and fluids, and the mode of feeding. The patient reports nutritional and health status, and the practitioner determines weight and height (to calculate BMI), and mid-arm and mid-calf circumferences. The maximal score is 30, score \>23.5 means well-nourished, 17\~23.5 means risk of malnutrition, \< 17 means malnutrition.
Time frame: Before allocation and after intervention 8 and 12 weeks.
Change from body weight at 12weeks
The body wight will be detected by OMRON HBF-375. Data record in kilograms and after the first decimal place.
Time frame: Before allocation and after intervention 8 and 12 weeks.
Change from body fat mass at 12weeks
The body fat mass will be detected by OMRON HBF-375. Data record with percentage and after the first decimal place.
Time frame: Before allocation and after intervention 8 and 12 weeks.
Change from muscle mass at 12weeks
The muscle mass will be detected by OMRON HBF-375. Data record with percentage and after the first decimal place.
Time frame: Before allocation and after intervention 8 and 12 weeks.
30 second arm curl test
Used to test muscle endurance of upper extremities. Let the participant sit on a chair and holding the dumbbell(female 5 pound; male 8 pound), then repeated curl his/her elbow. Count how many times can the participant curl their elbow in 30 seconds. More curl times means better upper endurance.
Time frame: Before allocation and after intervention 8 and 12 weeks.
30 second chair-stand test
To test muscle endurance of lower extremities. Let the participant sit on a chair, then repeated stand up and sit. Count how many times can he/she curl his/ her elbow in 30 seconds. The more frequency the better lower limb endurance.
Time frame: Before allocation and after intervention 8 and 12 weeks.
Six-minute walking test
Examine cardiopulmonary function in this study. Let the participant sit and rest 10 minutes before test. Check vital signs and oxygen situation for patient safety. Position the participant at the starting line, and walking back and forth along the mark on the floor. When the participant starts to walk, starts the times. Don't walk nor talk with him/ her, and count the laps attentively. Participant can walk longer distance means better cardiopulmonary function.
Time frame: Before allocation and after intervention 8 and 12 weeks.
Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy- Lung (FACT-L)
FACT-L could determine quality of life in lung cancer patients. It content 5 dimensions, physical well-being 7items, social/family well-being 7items, emotional well-being 6items, functional well-being 7 items, and Lung cancer sub-scale 9 items. It used Likert 5 point and the score ranged from 0 to 144. The higher score means better quality of life.
Time frame: Before allocation and after intervention 12 weeks.
Cancer anorexia-cachexia syndrome nutrition knowledge scale
Cancer anorexia-cachexia syndrome nutrition knowledge scale was developed to test cancer patients' cachexia nutrition knowledge. It content the knowing of cancer anorexia-cachexia syndrome(7 items), the technology on choose food(15 items), and anorexia management(7 items). The items are multiple choice but only one correct answer. The score ranged from 0 to 29, the higher score means the participant has better nutrition knowledge to against cancer anorexia-cachexia syndrome.
Time frame: Before allocation and after intervention 12 weeks.
24 hours dietary recall
To understand participants' nutrition intake before and after intervention. Let participants recall their last 24 hours diet by interview, include dish name, amount, cooking method, and nutrition supply. Collected data will be translated to calories, protein, fat, and carbohydrate by a nutritionist, and then it will be continues variable for analysis.
Time frame: Before allocation and after intervention 8 and 12 weeks.
Change from amount of exercise at 12 weeks
Measure amount of exercise by Xioami smart band. It is a wearable device, can record exercise, include time, duration, and heart rate...etc. Let the participant wear the smart band all day if passible. Collect walking distance, exercise date, exercise mode, duration by latest Xioami published application. Collected data will be continuous variable and analyzed.
Time frame: Collect 1~8week and 8-12 week exercise record.
