Vegetable and Fruit Intake Frequency and Mortality in Patients With and Without Chronic Kidney Disease: A Hospital-Based Cohort Study
Preference for fruits and vegetables may reduce death rates significantly among patients with or without CKD.
This study evaluated whether the level of consumption of fruits and vegetables is correlated to mortality risk in patients with or without chronic kidney disease (CKD). Researchers monitored the dietary and mortality records of 2,006 patients over an average period of 5.7 years.
A high number of deaths was recorded among patients at the bottom of the fruit and vegetable consumption ladder compared to their colleagues who consumed these plant foods generously. This study concluded that "lower frequency of vegetable and fruit intake is significantly associated with a higher risk of death regardless of CKD status."
