| Abstract |
Inappropriate dietary habits, overweight and lifestyle are suggested to contribute considerably to the increasing incidence and prevalence of urolithiasis. Numerous dietary factors can alter urinary composition and supersaturation, which can affect the process of stone formation. Dietary oxalate, calcium, protein, purines, sodium and ascorbic acid are known to be promoters of stone formation, whereas potassium and magnesium have been shown to be effective inhibitors. Although a high fluid supply has been demonstrated to decrease the incidence of urolithiasis, data from clinical and epidemiological studies on the effect of various beverages on the risk of urinary stone formation are conflicting. Continued research is warranted to clarify controversies concerning the impact of dietary calcium, oxalate, n-3 fatty acids, and phytate in calcium stone formation. Further randomized controlled studies should explore the long-term effects of dietary interventions in stone formers. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 05 February 2013.
All research outputs
#18,327,422
of 22,694,633 outputs
Outputs from World Journal of Urology
#1,709
of 2,083 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#56,974
of 60,612 outputs
Outputs of similar age from World Journal of Urology
#6
of 7 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,694,633 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 11th percentile – i.e., 11% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 2,083 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 6.1. This one is in the 8th percentile – i.e., 8% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 60,612 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 3rd percentile – i.e., 3% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 7 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one.
