Brief Answer:
The major concern are the other disease conditions and not the diet itself!

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about what happened that led to the patient being specifically on liquid diet. However, there is no direct reduced longevity linked to this diet. However, what is concerning is the illness itself and not the diet.

In all, my concern is about the disease/illness and not the diet. How long he lives is directly related to the illness and not the diet(liquid jivety) only.

I hope this helps. I wish you and the concerned well. Feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
