Journal of the American Society of Nephrology, 08/17/09
Taylor EN et al. – The authors constructed a DASH score based on eight components: high intake of fruits, vegetables, nuts and legumes, low–fat dairy products, and whole grains and low intake of sodium, sweetened beverages, and red and processed meats. For participants in the highest compared with the lowest quintile of DASH score, the multivariate relative risks for kidney stones were 0.55 for men, 0.58 for older women, and 0.60 for younger women. Higher DASH scores were associated with reduced risk even in participants with lower calcium intake. Exclusion of participants with hypertension did not change the results. In conclusion, consumption of a DASH–style diet is associated with a marked decrease in kidney stone risk.
