Background and Objectives: Inadequate nutritional status is one of the most common problems in hemodialysis patients and is associated with increased mortality in these patients. Therefore, the present study was performed to determine the nutritional status of hemodialysis patients referred to Imam Reza Hospital in Kermanshah in 2019.
Materials and Methods: This descriptive study was performed on 114 hemodialysis patients. Demographic information form and food frequency questionnaire (FFQ) were used for data collection. The questionnaires were applied in one stage in hemodialysis ward of Imam Reza Hospital in Kermanshah. Data were analyzed using non-parametric Mann-Whitney U, Kruskal-Wallis H, and chi-square tests.
Results: Out of 114 patients undergoing hemodialysis, 65 (57.02%) were male and 49 (42.98%) were female. Mean and standard deviation of patients’ age were 58.05± 13.98 years. The median consumption of bread and cereals, meat and beans, fruits and vegetables, fat and oil, and dairy products decreased with the increase of patients’ age (p˂0.001). Patients who underwent dialysis three times a week consumed more bread and cereals, meat and legumes, dairy products, and fruits and vegetables (p<0.001), but consumed less pickles and condiments than patients who underwent dialysis twice a week (p˂0.001).
Conclusion: The results of this study showed that in hemodialysis patients the consumption of bread and cereals and fruits and vegetables is less than the standard amount, but the consumption of dairy products, pickles, and condiments is more than the standard amount, which can be considered by policy makers and experts in this field.
