Cross-sectional studies have shown an association between the duration (y) of dialysis and nutritional status, providing evidence of wasting. ⋯ Evidence of adverse changes in body composition and physical activity, function, and performance and of a modest influence of inflammation and dietary intake on these changes was observed in this cohort. Tools such as bioelectrical impedance analysis, accelerometry, and the HAP may be required to identify subtle changes.
