Purpose: The modified Atkins diet (MAD) is a less restrictive treatment option than the ketogenic diet (KD) for intractable epilepsy and some metabolic conditions. Prolonged KD treatment may decrease bone mineralization and affect linear growth; however, long-term studies of MAD treatment are lacking. This study was designed to assess growth, body composition, and bone mass in children on MAD treatment for 24 months. Methods: Thirty-eight patients, mean age (SD) 6.1 years (4.8 years), 21 girls, with intractable epilepsy (n = 22), glucose transporter type 1 deficiency syndrome (n = 7), or pyruvate dehydrogenase complex deficiency (n = 9) were included. Body weight, height, body mass index (BMI), bone mass, and laboratory tests (calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, alkaline phosphatase, cholesterol, 25-hydroxyvitamin D, insulin-like growth factor-I and insulin-like growth factor binding protein 3) were assessed at baseline and after 24 months of MAD treatment. Results: Approximately 50% of the patients responded with more than 50% seizure reduction. Weight and height standard deviation score (SDS) were stable over 24 months, whereas median (minimum maximum) BMI SDS increased from 0.2 (-3.3 to 4.5) to 0.7 (-0.9 to 2.6), p < 0.005. No effects were observed for bone mass (total body, lumbar spine and hip) or fat mass. Conclusions: The MAD was efficient in reducing seizures, and no negative effect was observed on longitudinal growth or bone mass after MAD treatment for 24 months.
