From Sweden: Higher Protein Intake Tied to Lower Mortality in Chronic Kidney Disease
Higher intake of total, animal, and plant protein is associated with lower mortality in older adults with chronic kidney disease (CKD), according to a study published online Aug. 7 in JAMA Network Open.
Adrián Carballo-Casla, Ph.D., from the Karolinska Institutet and Stockholm University, and colleagues examined associations of total, animal, and plant protein intake with all-cause mortality in older adults with mild or moderate CKD. Analysis included 8,543 community-dwelling adults ≥60 years.
