Abstract
This study evaluated the effectiveness of individualized dietary interventions in improving the nutritional status and general health of individuals undergoing dialysis. A total of 120 patients undergoing dialysis were equally allocated to the Standard Care Group and Intervention Group. The recipients of individualized dietary counseling had their plans modified monthly in accordance with their nutritional needs, personal preferences, and clinical circumstances. Nutritional adherence, biochemical parameters, clinical outcomes, and quality of life were evaluated and compared between groups. At baseline, both groups exhibited comparable demographic characteristics. Compared to baseline values, the Intervention Group showed substantial enhancements in albumin, hemoglobin, potassium, and phosphorus levels after six months (P < 0.05). The Intervention Group had a considerably higher rate of adherence to dietary recommendations than the Standard Care Group (92% vs. 75%, P < 0.01). Nutritional intake analyses revealed a noteworthy enhancement in energy and protein consumption, while sodium, potassium, and phosphorus intake decreased (P < 0.05). The results of the quality-of-life evaluation demonstrated notable improvements in physical, emotional, social, and overall health perception scores (P < 0.05). Thus, personalized dietary interventions substantially improve the nutritional status, biochemical profile, and overall quality of life of patients undergoing dialysis.
期刊介绍:
Current Topics in Nutraceutical Research is an international, interdisciplinary broad-based peer reviewed scientific journal for critical evaluation of research on chemistry, biology and therapeutic applications of nutraceuticals and functional foods. The major goal of this journal is to provide peer reviewed unbiased scientific data to the decision makers in the nutraceutical and food industry to help make informed choices about development of new products.
To this end, the journal will publish two types of review articles. First, a review of preclinical research data coming largely from animal, cell culture and other experimental models. Such data will provide basis for future product development and/or human research initiatives. Second, a critical evaluation of current human experimental data to help market and deliver the product for medically proven use. This journal will also serve as a forum for nutritionists, internists, neurologists, psychiatrists, and all those interested in preventive medicine.
The common denominator of all of the topic to be covered by the journal must include nutraceuticals and/functional food. The following is an example of some specific areas that may be of interest to the journal. i) Role of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and phytonutrients on cardiovascular health, cancer, diabetes, ocular health, mental health, men’s health, women’s health, infant nutrition, ii) Role of herbals on human health, iii) Dietary supplements and sleep, iv) Components of diet that may have beneficial effect on human health, v) regulation of apoptosis and cell viability, vi) Isolation and characterization of bioactive components from functional foods, vii) Nutritional genomics, and viii) Nutritional proteomics.
