Understanding Diet and Health in Adults with Sickle Cell Disease
This study is looking at how diet and eating habits affect the overall health of adults with Sickle Cell Disease (SCD). SCD is a genetic condition where red blood cells become crescent-shaped, leading to various health problems like pain and heart issues. Researchers want to understand if nutrition can help manage or reduce these symptoms. This study will gather information on the dietary intake and behaviors of adults with SCD to see how these factors relate to their health and well-being. The goal is to learn more about the connection between diet and SCD outcomes.
