The implication of calf circumference and grip strength in osteoporosis and bone mineral density among hemodialysis patients.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Chronic kidney disease-mineral and bone disorder (CKD-MBD), nutritional status, and uremia management have been emphasized for bone management in hemodialysis patients. Nevertheless, valuable data on the importance of muscle mass in bone management are limited, including whether conventional management alone can prevent osteoporosis. Thus, the importance of muscle mass and strength, independent of the conventional management in osteoporosis prevention among hemodialysis patients, was evaluated.

Methods

Patients with a history of hemodialysis 6 months or longer were selected. We assessed the risk for osteoporosis associated with calf circumference or grip strength using multivariable adjustment for indices of CKD-MBD, nutrition, and dialysis adequacy. Moreover, the
