Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Lifestyle characteristics are modifiable factors that could be targeted as part of chronic kidney disease (CKD) prevention. We sought to determine the association of lifestyle characteristics with incident estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) 0.19). CONCLUSIONS: Higher diet quality may be associated with a decreased risk of incident eGFR <60 ml/min/1.73 m(2), and rapid eGFR decline. Whether adherence to a healthy diet can prevent reduction in kidney function warrants further study.
