Nutritional follow-up of 20 CAPD patients for 18–24 months showed a decrease in total body nitrogen, increase in total body potassium and body weight, and a decrease in protein intake over time. There was no correlation between changes in TBN and the biochemical parameters measured. Serial dietetic assessments and measurements of total body nitrogen as well as adherence to an adequate protein intake will assist in the prevention of malnutrition in CAPD patients.

Abstract Background and Aims Patients undergoing dialysis for end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) have poorer nutritional status than the general population, and worse nutritional status is associated with poor clinical outcomes. Hyperphosphatemia is common in dialysis patients owing to abnormal mineral and bone metabolism. Nephrologists manage hyperphosphatemia by prescribing phosphate binders and/or recommending restriction of dietary protein intake; the latter may, however, adversely affect nutritional status. In this analysis, we address the hypothesis that, even in the presence of hyperphosphatemia, liberalizing dietary protein leads to better patient outcomes. Method The analysis includes 11,628 hemodialysis (HD) patients in 12 countries in DOPPS phase 4 (2009-2011), from 254 facilities where the medical director completed a survey reporting facility practices. Demographic data, comorbid conditions, laboratory values, and medications were abstracted from patient records. Mortality was assessed during study follow-up. The primary exposure variable was response to the following question: “For patients with serum albumin 3.0 g/dL and phosphate 6.0 mg/dL, do you typically recommend to (A) increase or (B) not change or decrease dietary protein intake?” The primary outcome was all-cause mortality, analyzed by Cox regression, stratified by country, accounting for facility clustering using robust sandwich covariance estimators, and adjusted for case-mix and laboratory values. Linear regression was used to model the associations between the exposure variable and intermediate nutritional markers including serum albumin, creatinine, and phosphorus. We used multiple imputation to replace missing values for model covariates. Results Median follow-up was 1.4 years. In the case scenario, 91% of medical directors in North America recommended to increase protein intake compared to 58% in Europe (range=36-83% across 7 countries) and 56% in Japan (Figure). Advice to increase dietary protein intake was associated with 0.33 mg/dL higher serum creatinine levels (95% CI: 0.08-0.57) after adjustment for case mix, while clinically meaningful associations were not observed for serum albumin and phosphorus. Advice to increase dietary protein intake was weakly associated with lower mortality [HR (95% CI): 0.89 (0.77-1.03)]. The association with survival was stronger in patients with age 70+ years [HR (95% CI): 0.81(0.68-0.96), P=0.08 for interaction] and for those without diabetes [HR (95% CI): 0.81(0.66-0.98), P=0.20 for interaction] Conclusion In this large international cohort study, the medical director’s stated preference to recommend an increase in dietary protein intake for HD patients with low albumin and high phosphorus levels was most common in North America and was associated with higher patient serum creatinine levels and potentially lower all-cause mortality. Additional research into the possible benefits of protein intake liberalization for HD patients, even in the presence of hyperphosphatemia, is warranted.

The effects of “standard (STD)” vs. “protein- and energy-enriched (HEHP)” food-service meals on the nutrient intake, nutritional status, functional capacity, and wellbeing of older adults was investigated using a 12 week, double-blinded, parallel group design. All participants received dietetics counseling and either an STD (2.3 MJ and 30 g protein per meal) or a HEHP (4.6 MJ and 60 g protein) hot lunchtime meal for at least 3 days/week; those who did not want food-service meals were included in the control group (CON). Twenty-nine participants completed the study (STD = 7; HEHP = 12; CON = 10). From baseline to week 12, the HEHP subjects increased their mean daily energy intake from 6151 ± 376 kJ to 8228 ± 642 kJ (p = 0.002 for effect of time) and protein intake from 67 ± 4 g to 86 ± 8 g (p = 0.014 for effect of time). The MNA (Mini Nutritional Assessment) score was increased significantly in HEHP by 4.0 ± 1.1 points (p = 0.001), but not in the STD and CON groups (2.8 ± 2.1 points and 1.8 ± 1.1 points, p > 0.05). No difference was found for other clinical outcomes between the groups. The findings indicate that provision of HEHP-fortified food-service meals can increase energy and protein intake and improve the nutritional status of nutritionally at-risk older people.

Education influences a changes in knowledge, attitudes, and lifestyle patterns in the selection of the type and amount of food consumed. The health of a pregnant women affects the fetus in her womb. Nutrient content consumed by the mother will be absorbed by the fetus which is important for the growth of the fetus itself. This study aims to determine the relationship of education level, energy intake and protein nutritional status of pregnant women in the Bungoro Health Center Work Area of Bungoro District, Pangkep Regency. This research is an analytical study with cross-sectional design. Samples were pregnant women, amount to 40 people. The level of education is obtained through a questionnaire. Energy and protein intake was obtained through 2x24 hours recall and then processed using menu A software. To find out the relationship between variables of education level, energy and protein intake with nutritional status, Chi-Square was tested using the SPSS program. Data is presented in the form of tables and narratives. The results showed that 77.5% of the sample education level was high. Sample energy intake was classified as less than 82.5% and 17.5% classified as good. Sample protein intake of 95% classified as poor and 5% classified as good. Nutritional status of pregnant women is 70% experiencing KEK and 30% normal. Statistical test results show that there is no relationship between education level, energy and protein intake and nutritional status of pregnant women in the Bungoro Health Center Work Area, Bungoro District, Pangkep Regency.

Background: Previous research state the correlation between vitamin D deficiency and Type 1 diabetes. The deficiency of Vitamin D is caused by vitamin D intake, sunlight exposure, or nutritional status. Indonesia, as a tropical country, is close to the equator and receives sunlight all year long. Little research has been done on vitamin D levels in children and adolescents with Type 1 Diabetes in Indonesia.Objective: The study aims to determine the relationship among sunlight exposure, nutritional status, food intake, and vitamin D levels in children and adolescents with Type 1 Diabetes.Methods: The study design was cross-sectional with a sample size of 31 children and adolescents aged 5-19 years. Sunlight exposure data were collected using the Sun Exposure Questionnaire form, nutritional status o BMI/age data were using the WHO Anthro, food intake data were using the Semi-Quantitative Food Frequency Questioner, and vitamin D level data were using the ELISA method. Statistical analysis was conducted by using SPSS Version 21 with Pearson and Spearman correlation test.Results: All respondents showed vitamin D deficiency. Most respondents had low sunlight exposure and nutritional status in the normoweight category. The majority of respondents had good energy and protein intake, excess fat, low carbohydrates, and low vitamin D and calcium.Conclusion:There is a positive relationship between sunlight exposure and vitamin D level (p = 0.001, r = 0.627). However, there is no relationship among nutritional status, protein intake, fat, carbohydrates, vitamin D and calcium on the level of vitamin D (p = 0.409; p = 0.240; p = 0.311; p = 0.822; p = 0.231; 0.382).

Background Cystic fibrosis (CF) is an inherited genetic disorder with high mortality and morbidity. CF is strongly correlated with malnutrition due to higher energy losses, pancreatic insufficiency, chronic inflammation, higher resting energy expenditure, and feeding problems. Malnutrition in CF patients associated with worse survival. Thus, appropriate and prompt nutritional intervention should be addressed to reduced malnutrition in CF patients. Methods The literature search was performed on 9 August 2021 in four major databases such as MEDLINE, EBSCOhost, Cochrane Reviews, and Web of Sciences to find the role of nutrition and pancreatic enzyme replacement therapy in pediatrics population with cystic fibrosis. Recent findings In recent decades, early nutritional management and pancreatic enzyme replacement therapy (PERT) have been shown to improve CF patient’s outcomes. Nutrition should be given in higher calories compared to healthy individuals with close and regular nutritional status monitoring. High protein and fat diets are essential for CF patient’s overall survival. Adequate level of micronutrients should be ensured to avoid morbidity caused by micronutrients deficiency. Regular pancreatic insufficiency screening should be done annually in order to start PERT early.  Further research focusing on body composition, growth chart, protein intake, and PERT are needed to further improve the management of CF patient. Conclusion Nutritional intervention and PERT play an important role in prolonging CF patient survival. Both treatments should be initiated early with nutritional status close monitoring and tailored to each individual. Collaboration with parents and children is critical to warrant that CF patients followed the dietary advice.
