Abstract: Objective To explore the effect of dietary intervention on treatment effect and life quality of young patients with hepatitis B. Methods 106 cases of hepatitis B patients were randomly divided into the intervention group and the control group, each group with 53 cases. The patients in the control group were given medication treatment and conventional diet, while the intervention group was given medication treatment plus dietary intervention. The therapeutic effect and quality of life were evaluated between the two groups 30 days after the intervention. Results 29 cases in the intervention group were cured (54.72%),while only 16 cases in the control group (30.19%) were cured. The total score of life quality in the intervention group was (69.72 ± 8.42), and (55.71 ± 8.31) in the control group. Significant difference existed in subsequent dimensionality: emotional role, bodily function,bodily pain, vitality, social function, mental health and general health between the two groups. Conclusions Clinical efficacy can be improved and quality of life can be enhanced through dietary intervention in patients with hepatitis B.
