Dietary Patterns and Perceptions in Older Adults With Chronic Kidney Disease in the Canadian Frailty Observation and Interventions Trial (CanFIT): A Mixed-Methods Study.

Background: People living with chronic kidney disease (CKD) have identified diet as an important aspect of their life and care. Understanding current consumption patterns in this population, and how they relate to patient perspectives of dietary recommendations, may help identify and design potential dietary intervention strategies in CKD.

Objective: To investigate the dietary intake patterns of people with advanced-stage CKD, as well as subjective perspectives regarding dietary recommendations from participants and their caregivers.
