Diet quality in relation to kidney function and its potential interaction with genetic risk of kidney disease among Dutch post-myocardial infarction patients

Purpose: We examined the relation between diet quality, its components and kidney function decline in post-myocardial infarction (MI) patients, and we explored differences by genetic risk of chronic kidney disease (CKD). Methods: We analysed 2169 patients from the Alpha Omega Cohort (aged 60–80 years, 81% male). Dietary intake was assessed at baseline (2002–2006) using a validated food-frequency questionnaire and diet quality was defined using the Dutch Healthy Diet Cardiovascular Disease (DHD-CVD) index. We calculated 40-months change in estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR, mL/min per... Mehr ...
