Poor diet quality and obesity were each associated with a twofold increased risk of microalbuminuria in an American Journal of Kidney Disease study of 2354 adults aged 28 to 40 years without baseline microalbuminuria or an eGFR below 60 mL/min/1.73 m2. During 15 years of follow-up, microalbuminuria developed in 77 participants (3.3%). Individuals with one, two, or three unhealthy lifestyle-related factors (poor diet quality, current smoking, and obesity) had a 2.0, 3.7, and 5.1 times risk of microalbuminuria compared with individuals with no such lifestyle factors. The study results were reported by Renal & Urology News.
