Abstract
Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is a progressive condition that impacts health status and Quality of Life (QoL), particularly in stages of advanced CKD. Dietary and appetite status are important factors affecting health and quality of life for patients with CKD whose diets and appetites are frequently impaired by disease-related complications. The cross-sectional study was conducted to determine the relationships of dietary intake, appetite, and QoL on CKD patients in HPUSM. A total of 100 participants were recruited through purposive sampling. The average age of the participants was 62.5 years (SD = 10.97), with a gender breakdown of 49% male and 51% female.. Information regarding 24-hour dietary recall, Simplified Nutritional Appetite Questionnaire (SNAQ) and Kidney Disease Quality of Life Short Form (KDQOL-SF) was collected. We analysed the data through SPSS 29.0 and used Pearson's/Spearman's correlation, and chi-square test. Poor appetite was associated with protein consumption. Level of protein intake for poor appetite is 74.00 g and for normal appetite is 55.71 g with (p = 0.05) and fat intake (p> 0.01). There were correlations between the diet and QoL indicators. Protein intake proportion was inversely associated with kidney disease QoL score (r = -0.22, p = 0.03), and fat intake was associated with social support (r = 0.25, p = 0.01).The appetite score (SNAQ) was positively associated with QoL, in particular with the kidney disease QoL (r = 0.30, p = 0.002), indicating that patients with a higher appetite suffer less from the disease
