Association Between Dietary Fiber Intake and All-Cause and Cardiovascular Mortality in Middle Aged and Elderly Adults With Chronic Kidney Disease.

ABSTRACT:

Background and aims

Despite accumulating evidence on the benefits of dietary fiber in the general population, there is a lack of representative data on mortality in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). This study examined the role of dietary fiber intake on all-cause and cardiovascular mortality in patients with CKD using representative Korean cohort data.

Methods

The study included 3,892 participants with estimated glomerular filtration rates <60 mL/min/1.73 m² from the Korean Genome and Epidemiology Study.
