Abstract

Background & aims Evidence suggests that multiple-behavior interventions (with a specialist) have a greater impact on public health than single-behavior interventions, particularly in a chronic patient. However, there is little understanding of some very basic principles concerning multiple health behavior change, especially in situations such as kidney transplantation, which requires a great willingness to change negative lifestyle behaviors to achieve intermediate and long-term success. We compared healthy lifestyles and nutritional status according to the willingness to change dietary and exercise behavior in dialysis patients from a living donor kidney transplant program. Methods 400 dialysis patients had a dietetic, anthropometric, protein-energy wasting [subjective global assessment (SGA)] and biochemical evaluation. Lifestyle was evaluated with an adapted instrument to measure lifestyle in chronic disease. Willingness to change behaviors was evaluated by the trans-theoretical model; 2 groups were formed: willingness to change dietary and exercise behaviors and unwillingness to change. Results Willingness to change dietary behavior was 50% and exercise 25%. Patients with willingness to change dietary and exercise behaviors had better healthy lifestyle scores, and higher frequency of healthy food consumption. Healthy lifestyle score (R2 = 0.37, p < 0.0001) was predicted by older age, higher educational degree, shorter time on dialysis, and the highest willingness to change dietary and exercise behaviors. Conclusions Willingness to change dietary and exercise behaviors was associated with healthy lifestyle, as well as with higher frequency of healthy food consumption and with lower frequency of unhealthy food consumption.
