Higher Biomarker-Calibrated Protein Intake Is Not Associated with Impaired Renal Function in Postmenopausal Women,

Abstract: With aging, renal function tends to decline, as evidenced by reduced glomerular filtration rate. High-protein intake may further stress the kidneys by causing sustained hyperfiltration. To investigate whether dietary protein is associated with impaired renal function, we used data from 2 nested case-control studies within the Women's Health Initiative Observational Study (n = 2419). We estimated protein intake using a FFQ and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) from cystatin C. To account for the origi… Show more

“…(52) In an older study using data from two nested case-control studies of postmenopausal women within the Women’s Health Initiative Observational Study, biomarker-calibrated protein intake was not associated with odds of impaired renal function. (53) In addition, in a 6.4-y of follow-up in the Cardiovascular Health Study of older adults, neither total, animal, or plant protein intake were associated with eGFR. (54) Many of these studies used cystatin-C-based estimates of eGFR, whereas we used a creatinine-based equation given available data.…”

“…However, evidence shows that many healthy older adults have preserved kidney function. (7981) On the other hand, those older adults who are unhealthy are more likely to develop mild kidney insufficiency or CKD. For such individuals with a short life expectancy, nutritional recommendations (such as restriction of dietary protein intake) should support quality of life in the short-term.…”

“…Those with normal renal function had no such decline. Recent work on an aging population (68) , where renal function tends to decline (as indicated by reduced glomerular filtration rate), has investigated whether dietary protein is associated with impaired renal function. Data from two nested case-control studies within the Women's Health Initiative Observational Study (n 2419) were examined.…”
