Dietary sources of energy and nutrient intake among children and adolescents with chronic kidney disease.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Our purpose was to identify the main food contributors to energy and nutrient intake in children with chronic kidney disease (CKD).

Methods

In this cross-sectional study of dietary intake assessed using Food Frequency Questionnaires (FFQ) in the Chronic Kidney Disease in Children (CKiD) cohort study, we estimated energy and nutrient intake and identified the primary contributing foods within this population.

Results

Completed FFQs were available for 658 children. Of those, 69.9% were boys, median age 12 (interquartile range (IQR) 8-15 years). The average daily energy intake was 1968 kcal (IQR 1523-2574 kcal).
