Abstract

|
Wound healing is a coordinated process of sequential events consisting of four phases: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. Many factors can affect each phase of this process and have a harmful or beneficial effect on wound healing. Nutrition is closely associated with the wound healing process and is one of the major influencing factors on the outcomes of wound healing. Malnutrition and nutrient deficiencies could adversely affect wound healing and delay it. Many kinds of nutrients can enhance the healing process. Physicians should always assess every patient’s nutritional status to determine nutritional deficiencies. This will enable supplementation, thereby enhancing wound healing. Herein, we review the relationship between nutrition and wound healing, and the effects and mechanisms of each nutrient that is closely related to the wound healing process.
