Dietary patterns and risk of incident chronic kidney disease: the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Adherence to healthy dietary patterns, measured by the Healthy Eating Index (HEI), Alternative Healthy Eating Index (AHEI), and alternate Mediterranean diet (aMed) scores, is associated with a reduced risk of cardiovascular disease. The association between these scores and chronic kidney disease (CKD) is undetermined.

Objective

We aimed to estimate the association between the HEI, AHEI, and aMed scores and risk of incident CKD.

Methods

We conducted a prospective analysis in 12,155 participants aged 45-64 y from the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities (ARIC) Study. We calculated HEI-2015, AHEI-2010, and aMed scores for each participant and categorized them into quintiles of each dietary score. Incident CKD was defined as an estimated glomerular filtration ra
