The aim of this study was to characterise nutritional status and dietary intake in a population of individuals living with bronchiectasis from a regional clinic. Participants underwent usual assessment as per their standard pathway of care and in addition, body composition through skinfold measures, Handgrip strength and information on dietary intake over 3 days via 24 hour multiple pass recalls was also collected. This was to establish baseline measures and knowledge in support of understanding the impact of nutritional status within this group.
