Normal weight and waist obesity indicated by increased total body fat associated with all-cause mortality in stage 3–5 chronic kidney disease

Abstract: Patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) demonstrate a survival benefit with a high body mass index (BMI); this is the obesity paradox. Central obesity has a higher prognostic value than BMI, even in those with normal weight. Whether total body fat percentage (TBF%) provides more information than BMI and waist circumference (WC) remains unknown. We included 3,262 Asian patients with stage 3–5 CKD and divided these patients by TBF% and waist-to-height ratio (WHtR) quartiles (Q1–Q4). TBF% was associated with B… Show more

“…In our cohort, PBF had a protective effect on prognosis among people with CKD stages 3–5 and no significant results were found in addition to TC. These results corroborate research which supports obesity paradox [ 28 ]. Furthermore, PBF showed more robust effects than TC.…”

“…One possible reason for this discrepancy is the presence of protective nutritional effects of weight gain in patients with CKD 37) . In these patients, obesity is associated with a superior prognosis, which is referred to as the "obesity paradox" [37][38][39][40] . In addition, the adipose tissue may resist the effects of diseases characterized by catabolism [41][42][43][44] , such as CKD.…”
