Dietary patterns and chronic kidney disease risk: a systematic review and updated meta-analysis of observational studies

Abstract

Background A number of studies have reported the association between dietary patterns and the risk of chronic kidney disease (CKD), however a consistent perspective hasn’t been established to date. Herein, we conducted this systematic review and meta-analysis of observational studies to assess the association between dietary patterns and CKD. Methods MEDLINE, EBSCO and references from eligible studies were searched for relevant articles published up to 9 May 2020 that examined the association of common dietary patterns and CKD. The heterogeneity among studies was assessed by Cochran’s Q test and I2 methods. Results Seventeen eligible studies, involving 149,958 participants, were included in our systematic review and meta-analysis. The highest compared with the lowest category of healthy dietary pattern was significantly associated with a lower risk of CKD (OR=0.69; CI: 0.57, 0.84; P=0.0001). A higher risk of CKD was shown for the highest compared with the lowest categories of Western-type dietary pattern (OR=1.86; CI: 1.21, 2.86; P=0.005). There were evidence of a lower risk of CKD in the highest compared with the lowest categories of light-moderate drinking pattern (OR=0.76; CI: 0.71, 0.81; P< 0.0001) and heavy drinking pattern (OR=0.67; CI: 0.56, 0.80; P< 0.0001). Conclusions The results of this systematic review and meta-analysis show that a healthy dietary pattern and alcohol drinking were associated with lower risk of CKD, whereas a Western-type dietary pattern was associated with higher risk of CKD.

Adherence to the Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension diet reduces the risk of breast cancer: A systematic review and meta-analysis

“…The Newcastle-Ottawa Scale ( 20 ) was used to identify the quality of included studies in the meta-analysis. This scale consisted of three main domains: selection of participants with maximum 4 stars, comparability of participants with maximum 2 stars, and assessment of outcome/exposure with maximum 3 stars.…”

Dietary Lipids and Dyslipidemia in Chronic Kidney Disease

“…Two exploratory factor analyses that assessed food consumption and derived a posteriori food patterns in a CKD population placed fish in the pattern described as “mixed” [ 72 ] or “unhealthy” [ 73 ], along with red meat and poultry, probably because of these foods’ high protein content. A more recent systematic review and meta-analysis of 17 observational studies involving 149,958 participants that assessed the association between common dietary patterns and CKD, however, found that a healthy dietary pattern associated with a lower risk of CKD was characterized by a high intake of vegetables, fruits, fish, low-fat milk, and whole grains [ 74 ].…”

Healthy dietary patterns, foods, and risk of glioma: A systematic review and meta-analysis of observational studies

“…Likewise, a recent systematic review and meta- analysis published in 2022 by Zhang et al higher intakes of processed meats, processed fish and grains were significantly associated with the increased risk of glioma ( 8 ). However, because of the complexity nature of dietary constituents and the potential interactions between foods and nutrients ( 15 ), these priori studies revealed the limited impact of diet on glioma. In this context, dietary pattern analyses, as new direction in nutritional epidemiology, have emerged to take the combined effects of foods and nutrients into account ( 16 ).…”
