Trial Outcomes & Findings for Multicultural Healthy Diet in Chronic Kidney Disease (NCT NCT05504850)

NCT ID: NCT05504850

Last Updated: 2026-08-11

Results Overview

Feasibility will be assessed using the Automated Self-Administered 24-hour (ASA24®) Dietary Assessment Tool and the Energy-Adjusted Dietary Inflammatory Index (E-DII®). The ASA24® is a web-based tool that enables multiple, automatically coded, self-administered 24-hour diet recalls and/or single or multi-day food records (i.e., food diaries). The Energy Adjusted Dietary Inflammatory Index (E-DII®) quantifies the inflammatory potential of a person's diet while adjusting for total energy intake. Scores range from -8.87 (maximally anti-inflammatory) to +7.98 (maximally pro-inflammatory). Higher (positive) scores indicate greater adherence to a pro-inflammatory dietary pattern (e.g., highly processed or fried foods, sugary beverages) and are associated with poorer health outcomes, whereas lower (negative) scores indicate greater adherence to an anti-inflammatory dietary pattern (e.g., leafy greens, fruits, fish) and are associated with better health outcomes.

Multicultural Health Diet: The food-based components will be similar to the anti-inflammatory diet of the ongoing MHD study (NCT03240406), which emphasizes limiting animal and high saturated fat foods with focus on anti-inflammatory foods/food components specific to the cultural context of the participant. The diet will also be tailored to needs of the CKD population including a focus on lowering sodium intake. The intervention (dietary counseling) will be delivered by experienced kidney disease nutritionist.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 2 months post baseline

Acceptability of the dietary intervention will be assessed using the Acceptability of the Multicultural Healthy Diet (MHD) in CKD questionnaire. Participants will be asked to rate acceptability based on five items regarding whether the dietary intervention met their approval; was appealing; whether they liked the diet, in general; liked using herbs/spices that they had not used before; and would recommend the diet to family/friends. Responses to each item are rated on a 5-point ordinal scale: (Completely disagree, Disagree, Neither agree nor disagree, Agree or Completely agree). The number/percentage of participants selecting each category will be tabulated.
