Abstract
Background: data regarding the association between obesity and morbidity/mortality in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) are uncertain and sometimes contradictory. The aims of our study were to determine the associations among different measures of obesity and adiposity, and the risk of all-cause mortality or dialysis entry in stage 3–5 CKD patients. Materials: this observational cohort study included 178 CKD patients followed for a median of 71 months. Biochemistry, anthropometric measures such as body mass index (BMI), waist-to-hip ratio, mid-arm muscle circumference (MAMC) and body composition by bioimpedance analysis were evaluated. Results: we found a weak agreement between BMI and other measures of adiposity. In multivariable regression analysis, all measures of obesity such as BMI, waist circumference and waist-to-height ratio were not associated with dialysis entry and/or mortality. Instead, MAMC was associated with dialysis entry HR 0.82 [95% CI: 0.75–0.89] and high FM% with mortality HR 2.08 [95% CI: 1.04–4.18]. Conclusions: in our CKD population, lower MAMC was predictive of dialysis commencing, while a higher percentage of fatty mass was a predictor of mortality. Instead, obesity, as defined by BMI, is not associated with dialysis commencing or all-cause mortality.
