The association between quality of life and different types of dietary protein intake in hemodialysis patients (n = 264).
| Models | Total protein | Plant protein | Animal protein | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| β (95% CI) | p | β (95% CI) | p | β (95% CI) | p | |
| Model 1 | 0.16 (0.09,0.23) | <0.001 | 0.32 (0.20,0.44) | <0.001 | 0.16 (0.06,0.26) | <0.001 |
| Model 2 | 0.14 (0.07,0.21) | <0.001 | 0.29 (0.16,0.42) | <0.001 | 0.13 (0.02,0.23) | 0.01 |
| Model 3 | 0.12 (0.06,0.23) | 0.03 | 0.26 (0.07,0.45) | <0.001 | 0.03 (−0.09,0.16) | 0.60 |
p values were obtained from linear regression. Beta coefficients and their respective confidence intervals 95% (95% CI) were reported.
p values < 0.05 were considered as statistically significant.
Model 1: unadjusted. Model 2: adjusted for sex, job, height, weight and URR. Model 3: adjusted for sex, job, height, weight, URR, and total energy intake.
