Dietary Micronutrient Intake and Its Relationship with the Malnutrition-Inflammation-Frailty Complex in Patients Undergoing Peritoneal Dialysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The relationship between dietary patterns and the malnutrition-inflammation-frailty complex in patients undergoing peritoneal dialysis (PD) is currently unknown. Our objective was to measure dietary nutrient intake and evaluate its association with malnutrition, inflammation, and frailty.

Methods

We prospectively recruited adult PD patients. We assessed their dietary nutrient intake using a food frequency questionnaire. Frailty, malnutrition, and inflammation were evaluated by validated Frailty Score (FQ), Subjective Global Assessment (SGA), and Malnutrition-Inflammation Score (MIS).

Results

A total of 209 patients were recruited for the study. Among them, 89 patients (42.6%) had an insufficient protein intake, and 104 patients (49.8%) had an insufficient e
