Is energy intake underreported in hemodialysis patients?

Abstract

Introduction:

Underreporting of energy intake is not much studied in hemodialysis population.

Objective:

To evaluate the underreporting of energy intake and associated factors in hemodialysis patients.

Methods:

A cross-sectional study, with 344 patients stable adults, of ten hemodialysis centers in Goiânia-GO. Energy intake was assessed by six 24-hour dietary recalls and basal metabolic rate (BMR) was estimated using the Harris Benedict equation. It was considered as underreporting when the ratio between the average energy intake and basal metabolic rate was lower than1.27. For analysis of factors associated with underreporting, the Poisson regression with robust variance estimation was applied.

Results:

The prevalence of underreporting was 65.7%, being more significant in individuals who are overweight and in the non dialysis days. The result of the multivariate analysis identified four factors independently associated with the underreporting: being a female (PR = 1.27, CI = 1.10 to 1.46), body mass index ≥ 25 kg/m2 (PR = 1.29, CI = 1.12 to 1.48), three meals or lower/day (PR = 1.31, CI = 1.14 to 1.51) and hemodialysis length lower than 5 years (PR = 1.19CI = 1.01 to 1.40).

Conclusion:

The population showed a high prevalence of underreporting of energy intake. Being a female, presenting overweight, lower number of meals/day and lower length time on hemodialysis were factors associated with underreporting.

Resumo

Introdução:

O sub-relato da ingestão energética é pouco estudado na população em hemodiálise.

Objetivo:

Avaliar o sub-relato da ingestão energética e os fatores associados em pacientes em hemodiálise.

Métodos:

Estudo transversal, com 344 pacientes adultos estáveis, de dez centros de hemodiálise de Goiânia-GO. A ingestão energética foi avaliada por seis recordatórios de 24 horas e a taxa de metabolismo basal (TMB) foi calculada pela equação de Harris Benedict. Foi considerado como sub-relato quando a razão entre a ingestão energética média e a TMB foi menor que 1,27. Para análise dos fatores associados ao sub-relato, foi utilizada a regressão de Poisson com estimativa robusta da variância.

Resultados:

A prevalência de sub-relato foi de 65,7%, sendo mais expressiva em indivíduos com excesso de peso e nos dias sem diálise. O resultado final da análise multivariada identificou quatro fatores independentemente associados ao sub-relato: sexo feminino (RP = 1,27; IC = 1,10-1,46), índice de massa corporal ≥ 25 kg/m2 (RP = 1,29; IC = 1,12-1,48), três ou menos refeições/dia (RP = 1,31; IC = 1,14-1,51) e tempo de hemodiálise inferior a cinco anos (RP = 1,19; IC = 1,01-1,40).

Conclusão:

A população avaliada demonstrou elevada prevalência de sub-relato da ingestão energética. Pertencer ao sexo feminino, apresentar excesso de peso, fazer um menor número de refeições diárias e ter menos tempo de hemodiálise foram fatores associados ao sub-relato.

INTRODUCTION

Estimating energy intake is not an easy task in any population. Food intake assessment is usually based on individual self-report and epidemiological studies, a process that can be distorted and result in under- or over-reporting intake.1Scagliusi FB, Lancha Júnior AH. Subnotificação da ingestão energética na avaliação do consumo alimentar. Rev Nutr 2003;16:471-81. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/S1415-52732003000400010

When not identified, underreporting produces measurement biases and inconsistent results, leading to a misinterpretation of energy and nutrient intake,3Fasset RG, Robertson IK, Geraghty DP, Ball MJ, Coombes JS. Dietary intake of patients with chronic kidney disease entering the lord trial: adjusting for underreporting. J Ren Nutr 2007;17:235-42. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.1053/j.jrn.2007.04.004

which can hamper nutritional diagnosis and generate inadequate dietary interventions.

Despite studies showing an energy intake below recommendations for hemodialysis patients, a significant prevalence of excess weight and body fat,4Bazanelli AP, Kamimura MA, Vasselai P, Draibe SA, Cuppari L.

have been found in this population. This paradox may be related to food intake underreporting.

Underreporting is a distortion of self-reported food intake1Scagliusi FB, Lancha Júnior AH. Subnotificação da ingestão energética na avaliação do consumo alimentar. Rev Nutr 2003;16:471-81. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/S1415-52732003000400010
http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/S1415-52732003...
. Overall, it results from the individual's failure to recall all consumed food or the underestimation of the quantities ingested. We also understand it as a gap between said measured energy intake and energy expenditure measured without weight change or weight maintenance over a period of follow up.9Poslusna K, Ruprich J, de Vries JH, Jakubikova M, van't Veer P. Misreporting of energy and micronutrient intake estimated by food records and 24 hour recalls, control and adjustment methods in practice. Br J Nutr 2009;101:S73-85.

Although it is well referenced in the literature for healthy individuals, underreporting is still not well studied in chronic kidney disease,3Fasset RG, Robertson IK, Geraghty DP, Ball MJ, Coombes JS.

,5Avesani CM, Kamimura MA, Draibe SA, Cuppari L. Is energy intake underestimated in nondialyzed chronic kidney disease patients? J Ren Nutr 2005;15:159-65. and only one evaluated the population under hemodialysis, finding a prevalence of 65%.7Mafra D, Moraes C, Leal VO, Farage NE, Stockler-Pinto MB, Fouque D. Underreporting of energy intake in maintenance hemodialysis patients: a cross-sectional study. J Ren Nutr 2012;22:578-83. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.1053/j.jrn.2011.10.037
http://dx.doi.org/10.1053/j.jrn.2011.10....
Thus, the lack of national data regarding underreporting of food intake among patients with chronic kidney disease fostered this study, aimed at establishing the prevalence of energy intake underreporting and associated factors in hemodialysis patients.

Methods

This is a cross-sectional study carried out involving ten hemodialysis centers in Goiânia-GO, between May 2009 and March 2010. The study was approved by the Ethics in Research Committee of the University Hospital - Federal University of Goiás (HC/UFG, Protocol No. 011/2009) and the Santa Casa de Misericórdia de Goiania (Protocol 046/2009), and each participant signed an informed consent.

The sample was estimated at 302 individuals, considering the total number of patients on hemodialysis in the municipality (n = 1400), margin of error and significance level at 5%, test power of 80% and prevalence of 50% underreporting for this population. We added 20% more individuals to the sample, because we forecasting losses and refusals, totaling 362 individuals. Of this total, 344 patients completed the study. For sample selection purpose, we used a simple random draw, proportional to the total number of patients in a hemodialysis center.

We included non-institutionalized clinically stable patients older than 18 years, of both genders, with stable weight and no clinical evidence of inflammation and/or infection, in the last three months and in hemodialysis for more than three months. The exclusion criteria were: cancer, tuberculosis, acquired immunodeficiency syndrome, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and severe cardiovascular disease, uncontrolled severe diabetes mellitus, current pregnancy, dialysis through a venous catheter, situations that prevented the anthropometric evaluation or the investigation of food intake (advanced bone disease, stroke sequelae, disability or amputations).

Clinical (disease etiology, comorbidities, and duration of hemodialysis), demographic (gender and age), socioeconomic (education, occupation, marital status, income), anthropometric (weight, height), food intake and physical inactivity data was obtained from medical records. The patient was interviewed through nutritional assessment by four nutritionists, using standardized forms tested in a pilot study. Physical inactivity was defined according to criteria from the Pan American Health Organization.1010 Organización Panamericana de la Salud. Protocolo y directrices: Conjunto de Ações para la Reducción Multifactorial de Enfermedades no Transmisibles (CARMEN/CINDI). OPAS; 1997.

According to Lohman et al.,1111 Gordon CC, Chumlea WC, Roche AF. Stature, recumbent length, and weight. In: Lohman TG, Roche AF, Martorell R, eds. Anthropometric standardization reference manual. Champaign: Human Kinetics Books; 1988. p.3-8.weight and height were measured after the intermediate dialysis session of the week. We obtained the body mass index (BMI) from the dry weight/square of height ratio, considering the World Health Organization classification.1212 World Health Organization (WHO). Obesity. Preventing and managing the global epidemic. Report of a WHO consultation on obesity. Geneva: World Health Organization; 1997. The ideal weight was obtained from the BMI 23 (kg/m2).1313 Fouque D, Vennegoor M, ter Wee P, Wanner C, Basci A, Canaud B, et al. EBPG Guideline on nutrition. Nephrol Dial Transplant 2007;22:ii45-87. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/ndt/gfm020
http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/ndt/gfm020...
To calculate energy intake per kilogram we used the ideal weight. When their weight adequacy was less than 95% or greater than 115%, we used the adjusted weight, calculated as recommended by the NKF/KDOQI (2000).1414 Clinical practice guidelines for nutrition in chronic renal failure. K/DOQI, National Kidney Foundation. Am J Kidney Dis 2000;35:S1-140.

Food intake was evaluated using six 24-hour recalls, over three days in and three days out of dialysis, obtained in a three-week period. Of the six recalls, one was obtained on a Saturday. The food quantities reported by patients were recorded in household measures, with the aid of utensils such as glasses, cups and spoons and then converted into grams or milliliters. Energy intake was calculated by a software designed for the study (www.dbcheckout.com.br/nutri), which is mainly based on data from the Brazilian Table of Food Composition.1515 Tabela Brasileira de Composição de Alimentos. NEPA-UNICAMP. 4ª ed. Campinas: NEPA-UNICAMP; 2011. p.161 [Acesso 20 Jun. 2015]. Disponível em: http://www.unicamp.br/nepa/taco/tabela.php
http://www.unicamp.br/nepa/taco/tabela.p...

We considered it to be underreporting when the ratio between the average energy intake and basal metabolic rate (EI/BMR) was less than 1.27. For sedentary individuals, it is estimated that the minimum daily energy needed to maintain body weight is 1.27 times the BMR,1212 World Health Organization (WHO). Obesity. Preventing and managing the global epidemic. Report of a WHO consultation on obesity.

Geneva: World Health Organization; 1985. below which weight maintenance is biologically and statistically unlikely.1Scagliusi FB, Lancha Júnior AH.

,1212 World Health Organization (WHO). Obesity. Preventing and managing the global epidemic. Report of a WHO consultation on obesity. Geneva: World Health Organization; 1997. A value higher than 2.39 was considered to characterize the overreporting energy intake.1717 Goldberg GR, Black AE, Jebb SA, Cole TJ, Murgatroyd PR, Coward WA, et al. Critical evaluation of energy intake data using fundamental principles of energy physiology: 1. Deri vation of cut-off limits to identify under-recording. Eur J Clin Nutr 1991;45:569-81. PMID: 1810719 BMR was calculated by the Harris Benedict equation, a method that provides an acceptable prediction of basal metabolism for chronic renal patients.1818 Kamimura MA, Avesani CM, Bazanelli AP, Baria F, Draibe AS, Cuppari L. Are prediction equations reliable for estimating resting energy expenditure in chronic kidney disease patients? Nephrol Dial Transplant 2010;26:544-50.

The data was entered in duplicate using regularity check by the Epi-Info 6.0 software (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Atlanta). Analyses were performed in the STATA/SE 12.0 statistical software (Stata Corporation, Texas). Categorical variables were expressed as frequencies and percentages and compared by the Descartes Rule of Signs. Continuous variables had their normality checked by the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test ( p ≥ 0.05) and expressed as mean or median and standard deviation and compared by the t-test (p < 0.05) or the Wilcoxon test. In the bivariate analysis among socioeconomic, demographic, clinical and anthropometric data and underreporting, we used the Pearson's chi-square test. To analyze the factors associated with underreporting, we initially used a simple Poisson regression. The variables with p ≤ 0.20 were tested in the multivariate analysis using Poisson regression with robust variance estimation. The ones with a p < 0.05 remained in the model.

Results

Table 1 depicts the patients' characteristics. Table 2 shows a high prevalence of underreporting in the study sample (65.7%), being significantly higher for individuals with BMI ≥ 25 kg/m2 (78.4%). None of the patients showed overreporting of energy intake. Energy intake per kilogram of body weight and the EI/BMR ratio were significantly lower in the group with BMI ≥ 25 kg/m2.

The prevalence of underreporting was significantly higher among females (75%), in individuals with up to eight years of education (70.18%), with up to five years on hemodialysis (69.91%), with BMI ≥ 25 kg/m2 (78.38%) and those who had up to three daily meals (76.56%), as shown on Table 4.

Being female, having a BMI ≥ 25 kg/m2, having up to three daily meals, being on hemodialysis for five years were factors associated with underreporting in this population (Table 5). Other variables were tested (age, body fat percentage, education, family income, socioeconomic status, general health, comorbidities, etiology, marital status, smoking, alcohol consumption, albumin, pre and post-dialysis urea), however, these were not associated with underreporting among the patients studied.

Discussion

When analyzing the energy intake report of the patients evaluated in this study, we noticed a considerable percentage of underreporting, while there was no overreporting. Other studies with CRF patients did not assess the occurrence of overreporting.3Fasset RG, Robertson IK, Geraghty DP, Ball MJ, Coombes JS.

studies which investigated underreporting in this population, finding prevalence rates of 61% and 65%, respectively, similar to this study (65.7%). This data indicates that the prevalence of underreporting in hemodialysis individuals is high, similar to that found in other populations.

Another interesting data found in this study was the higher prevalence of underreporting in the dialysis-off day and the increased protein intake by under-reporters compared to valid reporters.

For the patients evaluated in this study, the factors associated with underreporting were BMI starting at 25 kg/m2, female gender, having up to three meals a day and being in hemodialysis for up to five years. There are a number of associated factors or predictors of underreporting when healthy individuals are concerned. The most frequently cited are females,1919 Novotny JA, Rumpler WV, Riddick H, Hebert JR, Rhodes D, Judd JT, et al.

The low energy intake found in patients with chronic kidney disease is usually not associated with long-term weight loss, indicating that these individuals consume more energy than reported.3Fasset RG, Robertson IK, Geraghty DP, Ball MJ, Coombes JS.

In this study, we found a higher prevalence of underreporting in the overweight group, with BMI starting at 25 kg/m2 a factor associated with underreporting for the individuals evaluated. Although we did not follow the patients evaluated in order to monitor anthropometric parameters, we found that the high prevalence of underreporting is not consistent with the mean EI/BMR ratio, nor with the high percentage of overweight patients according to BMI. These results are in agreement with those from Avesani et al.5Avesani CM, Kamimura MA, Draibe SA, Cuppari L. Is energy intake underestimated in nondialyzed chronic kidney disease patients? J Ren Nutr 2005;15:159-65. and Bazanelli et al.,4Bazanelli AP, Kamimura MA, Vasselai P, Draibe SA, Cuppari L. Underreporting of energy intake in peritoneal dialysis patients.

who observed greater underreporting, with prevalence rates of 80 and 83.3%, respectively, in chronic renal failure patients with a BMI ≥ 25 kg/m2.

Interestingly, in general, overweight individuals undergo frequent dietary restrictions in order to reduce weight.9Poslusna K, Ruprich J, de Vries JH, Jakubikova M, van't Veer P.

Am J Clin Nutr 2004;79:795-804. and drinks consumed between meals in the form of tweaks, which are not included in the calculation of daily energy consumption can also contribute to food intake underreporting.

The shorter time in hemodialysis proved to be a factor associated with underreporting among the evaluated individuals, which was not investigated in other studies with chronic kidney patients.3Fasset RG, Robertson IK, Geraghty DP, Ball MJ, Coombes JS.

It is possible that having a nutritionist at each dialysis center, constantly monitoring and questioning patients about food intake may have conditioned those patients on longer time in dialysis to be more aware of their intake and this had not yet occurred in individuals under shorter treatment time, resulting in greater underreporting among the latter.

Underreporting is a major limitation of food consumption studies,7Mafra D, Moraes C, Leal VO, Farage NE, Stockler-Pinto MB, Fouque D. Underreporting of energy intake in maintenance hemodialysis patients: a cross-sectional study. J Ren Nutr 2012;22:578-83. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.1053/j.jrn.2011.10.037

leading to inaccuracies in dietary intake monitoring. Among hemodialysis patients, an accurate assessment of energy consumption is crucial for assessing their clinical status, nutritional interventions and overall health outcomes.7Mafra D, Moraes C, Leal VO, Farage NE, Stockler-Pinto MB, Fouque D.

When not detected, it can negatively interfere in the nutrition and monitoring of hemodialysis patients.

Thus, the nutritionist monitoring these patients must analyze critically1Scagliusi FB, Lancha Júnior AH. Subnotificação da ingestão energética na avaliação do consumo alimentar. Rev Nutr 2003;16:471-81. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/S1415-52732003000400010

the intake data. This will be useful to prevent misconduct in a nutritional intervention plan,2121 Anjos LA, Souza DR, Rossato SL. Desafios na medição quantitativa da ingestão alimentar em estudos populacionais. Rev Nutr 2009;22:151-61. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/S1415-52732009000100014

as, for example, supplying more calories which, over time, may contribute to overweight or unnecessary body fat build up, or even encouraging the consumption of certain foods, to correct certain nutrient that "may be considered in deficit," which can cause imbalance of serum levels of phosphorus, potassium, glucose, and others. The EI/BMR ratio can be a useful, simple and feasible tool to detect underreporting in clinical practice, which would help the healthcare professional interpret food data in a safer and more rigorous way for hemodialysis patients, obtained by traditional methods of dietary assessment. Removal of underreported data enables a more accurate assessment of food intake2424 McGowan CA, McAuliffe. Maternal nutrient intakes anda levels of energy underreporting during early pregnancy. Eur J Clin Nutr 2012;66:906-13. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.1038/ejcn.2012.15

regarding the evaluated group and provides for safer advice regarding nutritional counseling.7Mafra D, Moraes C, Leal VO, Farage NE, Stockler-Pinto MB, Fouque D. Underreporting of energy intake in maintenance hemodialysis patients: a cross-sectional study. J Ren Nutr 2012;22:578-83. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.1053/j.jrn.2011.10.037
http://dx.doi.org/10.1053/j.jrn.2011.10....

A limitation of this study is the fact that the patients' BMR was not measured, but rather estimated by a predictive equation of energy expenditure. Although it is more appropriate to calculate the BMR of individuals with chronic kidney disease, the Harris Benedict equation may overestimate this calculation by about 5.8%,1818 Kamimura MA, Avesani CM, Bazanelli AP, Baria F, Draibe AS, Cuppari L. Are prediction equations reliable for estimating resting energy expenditure in chronic kidney disease patients? Nephrol Dial Transplant 2010;26:544-50. which would result in a higher prevalence of underreporting in this population. However, the underreporting prevalence we found was not different from that of other studies,4Bazanelli AP, Kamimura MA, Vasselai P, Draibe SA, Cuppari L. Underreporting of energy intake in peritoneal dialysis patients. J Ren Nutr 2010;20:263-9. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.1053/j.jrn.2009.08.009

,5Avesani CM, Kamimura MA, Draibe SA, Cuppari L. Is energy intake underestimated in nondialyzed chronic kidney disease patients? J Ren Nutr 2005;15:159-65. which used indirect calorimetry to find the energy expenditure and classify the self-reported energy levels of intake.

Another point to be considered is the use of 24-hour recalling to obtain dietary intake information. In general, more precise methods such as direct weighing are not feasible for studies with larger samples. Recalling is one method of choice because it is practical, easy to perform, inexpensive and can be applied in individuals with different levels of education.2121 Anjos LA, Souza DR, Rossato SL. Desafios na medição quantitativa da ingestão alimentar em estudos populacionais. Rev Nutr 2009;22:151-61. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/S1415-52732009000100014
http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/S1415-52732009...
Despite these advantages, this method has limitations, such as having to depend on memory recall, and its application in just one day may not represent normal intake.2121 Anjos LA, Souza DR, Rossato SL. Desafios na medição quantitativa da ingestão alimentar em estudos populacionais. Rev Nutr 2009;22:151-61. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/S1415-52732009000100014
http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/S1415-52732009...
In this study, we tried to compensate for these disadvantages using household measures to assist in a more adequate identifying of how much food was eaten.9Poslusna K, Ruprich J, de Vries JH, Jakubikova M, van't Veer P. Misreporting of energy and micronutrient intake estimated by food records and 24 hour recalls, control and adjustment methods in practice. Br J Nutr 2009;101:S73-85.

http://dx.doi.org/10.1017/S0007114509990...
In addition to all these steps, we employed six reminders, comprising the days on dialysis and the interdialytic period, making it more representative of the normal dietary intake for valid responders.

This study was different because we assessed the effects of various variables associated with underreporting in a representative sample of the population on hemodialysis, much higher compared to samples from other studies evaluating the underreporting among individuals with chronic renal disease.3Fasset RG, Robertson IK, Geraghty DP, Ball MJ, Coombes JS. Dietary intake of patients with chronic kidney disease entering the lord trial: adjusting for underreporting. J Ren Nutr 2007;17:235-42. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.1053/j.jrn.2007.04.004

http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/ndt/17.9.1628...
A multivariate analysis identified the variables that remained associated with underreporting, given the interdependence between the factors evaluated.

Conclusion

This population had a high prevalence of energy intake underreporting, especially among individuals who are overweight by BMI and on days without dialysis. The under-reporters had higher protein consumption than valid reporters and we did not detect the over-reporting of energy intake. Being female, overweight, having fewer meals and being in hemodialysis for a shorter time were factors associated with underreporting.

Our findings draw attention to the fact that the analysis of dietary data, regardless of underreporting, may result in a false interpretation of intake and even inadequacies in carrying out dietary treatment of the patients. Thus, it is suggested that food intake of female patients, those in overweight, with less daily meals and less time in hemodialysis be investigated more carefully and interpreted by the nutritionist of dialysis centers.
