Background and Objectives: Patients with chronic kidney disease often experience various complications, one of which is uremic sarcopenia. Various factors can cause uremic sarcopenia, including monotonous diets. One of the indices used to assess nutritional quality of patients includes dietary diversity score. The present study aimed to investigate relationships between dietary diversity and sarcopenia resulted from chronic kidney diseases in elderly people.
Materials & Methods: In this case-control study, 100 chronic kidney disease patients and 100 healthy individuals aged 60–75 years were examined at Nephrology Department of Shahid Labbafi Nejad Hospital, Tehran, Iran. The control group was similar to the case group for age and gender. Demographic information and 147-item food frequency questionnaires were collected through interviews. Sarcopenia assessment was carried out based on the guidelines from the Asian Working Group. Data analysis was carried out using SPSS software.
Results: Based on the analyses, 62% of chronic kidney disease patients did not consume vitamin D. Moreover, consumption of red meat was higher in control groups than the case group. In this study, dietary diversity score included no significant associations with sarcopenia statuses. Additionally, no significant associations were observed between the total dietary diversity score and its subgroups with sarcopenia.
Conclusion: In this study, no statistically significant associations were detected between the chronic kidney disease-related sarcopenia and dietary diversity scores. |
