A cohort study found that changes in body composition are correlated with fluctuations in bone mineral density in adults with non-dialysis-dependent chronic kidney disease. The study included 46 participants and showed reductions in renal function and lean body mass over 2.8 years. The researchers emphasized the importance of monitoring bone mineral density status in these patients and highlighted lean soft tissue as a protective factor against bone mineral density loss. Strategies to maintain muscle mass in this population could be beneficial in preventing bone loss and its complications.
