Results: The analysis included 370 patients (64.1%). Five types were identified and each was categorized based on characteristic behavior; “well-management/irregular eating habits” (n=91), “adjustment by cooking and food choice/regular eating habits” (n=64), “adjustment by food choice/monitoring/regular eating habits” (n=76), “adjustment by eating amount/irregular eating habits” (n=62), and “non-management/regular eating habits” (n=77). The proportion of males and preparation of meals by patient’s family or others was significantly high in the “non-management/regular eating habits” type (P=0.005, P=0.001). Diet and fluid adherence status was significantly low in the “adjustment by eating amount/irregular eating habits” and the “non-management/regular eating habits” types (P<0.001, P<0.001).
