Article Synopsis
- Recent research highlights the prognostic significance of differences between creatinine-based and cystatin C-based estimated glomerular filtration rates (eGFR) but lacks focus on the impact of protein intake on these differences.
- The study analyzed data from over 6,000 participants in Japan to explore the relationship between dietary protein consumption and eGFR discordance, evaluating results separately for men and women due to varying dietary patterns.
- Findings revealed that higher total protein intake, particularly from animal sources in men, was linked to increased eGFR discordance, suggesting that dietary factors should be considered in future research on eGFR-related health outcomes.
The COVID-19 pandemic might affect many aspects of the community and a range of psychiatric risk factors due to life changes, including people's behaviors and perceptions. In this study, we aim to identify specific life changes that correlate with psychological distress within the social context of the COVID-19 pandemic in Japan. In July 2020, workers (company employees and civil servants) in Japan were recruited from local institutions that had not had any confirmed COVID-19 cases as well as neighborhoods that had only a few cases.
