Time for Change: A 3-Year Prospective Study on Mediterranean Diet Adherence and Body Composition in Kidney Transplant Recipients
This study highlights a significant decline in MeDi adherence and skeletal muscle mass among KTRs over a three-year follow-up period, with no notable changes in fat mass or kidney function. The predictors of muscle mass loss and associations with mortality underscore the importance of dietary and clinical management in this population.
