Cross-sectional associations between macronutrient intake and chronic kidney disease in a population at high cardiovascular risk
BACKGROUND & AIMS: The aim was to examine the associations between macronutrient
intake and the prevalence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) or microalbuminuria (MiA) in
individuals at high cardiovascular risk. METHODS: Cross-sectional analyses conducted in
2123 nondiabetic individuals from the PREDIMED study. Dietary data were collected using a
food-frequency questionnaire. Analysis of covariance was used to assess associations
between quartiles of nutrient intake and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) or urinary …
