The study is performed in the Department of Internal Medicine the University of Tartu where group consisted of 12 males (mean age 42.8±16.1 years) and 16 females (mean age 47.0±14.9 years). Clinically stable consecutive nondiabetic renal transplant patients (n=28) were studied twice: 1.2 years after the transplantation and then after 1.5-year follow-up. The present data constitute the initial stage of investigation because the second correlation analysis of body build and menus was made 1.5 years later together with the patients' nutritional conselling. Anthropometrical measurements were carried out as follows: body weight (kg), height (cm), body mass index (kg/m²), body fat mass (%) and total body fat mass (kg) by hand-to- hand bioimpedance, 8 breadth and 2 depth measurements, 13 circumferences and 11 skinfolds. The mean values of the consumption of food energy and the main nutrients were determined on the basis of the 3-day menu. The Micro- Nutrica Program was used. Correlation analysis was performed between anthropometrical parameters and 3-day menu indices of macro- and micronutrients. The aim of the study was to determine the anthropometrical and nutritional habits in kidney transplant patients and to compare with the data analysis of the 3- day menus after kidney transplantation. The results of our work indicated that the amount of consumed food was generally little connected with the anthropometrical variables of the studied renal transplant patients. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
