Impact of Dietary Patterns on the Progression of Chronic Kidney Disease in Cardio-Metabolic Disorders: Insights from Multi-State Models in a Large UK Cohort

Highlight

• Adherence to the American Heart Association (AHA) dietary pattern significantly lowers the risk of chronic kidney disease (CKD) progression in individuals with cardio-metabolic disorders.
• Other dietary patterns like the Diabetes Risk Reduction Diet (DRRD) and EAT-Lancet diet exhibit weaker protective effects against CKD progression.
• High adherence to unhealthful plant-based dietary indexes correlates with increased CKD risk.
• No dietary pattern significantly affects mortality after CKD onset, emphasizing the need for targeted management post-CKD diagnosis.
