Abstract
Objectives
This study characterised protein intake and diet quality in adults with cystic fibrosis (awCF), before and after elexacaftor/tezacaftor/ivacaftor (ETI), and compared to healthy controls, UK recommended dietary allowance (RDA, 0.75g·kg-1·day) and recommendations for those with elevated protein requirements and/or increased risk of sarcopenia (≥1.2g·kg−1·day−1).
Methods
As part of the Igloo-CF study, dietary intake was assessed in awCF at baseline (BL, n=40) and at >3 months post-ETI therapy (FUP, n=40), and healthy controls (CON, n=80) at a single time point. Each participant's protein intake, dose and distribution throughout the day relative to bodyweight, and overall diet quality was calculated.
Results
Mean age and BMI of awCF (at BL) and CON were 35.6 ± 9.8 years, 23.3±2.8kg·m-2 and 37.7±14.6 years, 25.0±5.0kg·m-2 respectively, across both cohorts 52% were male. In awCF, median ppFEV1 was 46.8 (IQR 34.8, 65.8) at BL and 56.5 (IQR 43.5, 72.6) at FUP, with time points a median of 68 weeks (range 20-94 weeks) apart, median duration of ETI at FUP 23 weeks (range 7-72 weeks). Both CON (1.39±0.47g·kg-1·day-1) and CF cohorts (BL: 1.44±0.52 g·kg-1·day-1), FUP: 1.12±0.32g·kg-1·day-1) had a higher mean daily protein intake than the current RDA for healthy adults. Daily protein intake decreased in CF participants at FUP, with levels below (≥1.2g·kg−1·day−1) recommendations for those with elevated protein requirements and/or at risk of sarcopenia (P<0.05). Only 72% of awCF at BL and 64% of CON group met the recommended RDA on all measurement days. In the CF cohort, overall diet quality fell at FUP when on ETI therapy.
Conclusion
Adequate protein quality and quantity is essential to maintain skeletal muscle mass and function, particularly in catabolic states such as CF. This is particularly pertinent for a rapidly ageing population. More research on optimal protein requirements is needed to promote healthy ageing in awCF.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Cystic Fibrosis is the official journal of the European Cystic Fibrosis Society. The journal is devoted to promoting the research and treatment of cystic fibrosis. To this end the journal publishes original scientific articles, editorials, case reports, short communications and other information relevant to cystic fibrosis. The journal also publishes news and articles concerning the activities and policies of the ECFS as well as those of other societies related the ECFS.
