Abstract

To evaluate the dietary energy intakes (DEI) and dietary protein intakes (DPI) of older (> or = 65 years), middle-aged (50 to 64 years), and younger (< 50 years) maintenance hemodialysis patients enrolled in the Hemodialysis (HEMO) Study, and to describe the relationship between age, nutritional status, functional status, and comorbidity.
