A pilot study on the relation between dietary XXXX and clinical parameters in renal transplant recipients.

@entity1 @entity1144 @entity229 @entity460
OBJECTIVE: This aim of this study was to evaluate the association between dietary @entity460 and variables that include body mass index, @entity1144 , metabolic profile, and blood pressure levels in renal transplant @entity1 . DESIGN: A cross-sectional study was conducted. SETTING: Eligible @entity1 were recruited from renal transplant outpatient clinics at Pedro Ernesto University Hospital, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. @entity1 : A total of 40 @entity1 and 34 @entity1 aged >18 years who had received kidney transplants in the past >= 12  months were included in this study. INTERVENTION: All @entity1 underwent clinical, dietary, anthropometric, and biochemical evaluation. RESULTS: @entity1 were classified into the following 2 groups on the basis of their mean dietary @entity460 intake: group A (<600 mg/day) and group B (>= 600 mg/day). @entity1 in group B presented significantly lower levels of waist circumference and waist-to-hip ratio as compared with those in group A (P = .04 and P = .005, respectively), after adjusting for confounding variables such as energy intake, gender, age, physical activity, time since transplantation, and @entity229 dose. After controlling for potential confounders, including energy intake and physical activity, subjects in group B had a lower odds ratio for prevalent @entity1144 as compared with those in group A (odds ratio, 0.17; 95% confidence interval, 0.03 to 0.94; P = .04). Body mass index was significantly lower in @entity1 with higher @entity460 intake; however, this difference did not reach statistical significance after adjustments for confounding factors. Metabolic profile and blood pressure levels were similar in both groups. CONCLUSION: The findings of the present study suggest that a higher dietary @entity460 intake may be associated with lower abdominal adiposity in renal transplant @entity1 .
