Association between metabolically healthy obesity and kidney stones: results from the 2011-2018 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

The risk of kidney stones in metabolically healthy obesity (MHO) individuals is largely unexplored. This study using percent body fat (%BF) to categorize obesity, to investigate the association between MHO as well as other metabolic syndrome-obesity combined phenotypes and kidney stones in a national representative population.

Materials and methods

This cross-sectional study included 4,287 participants in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey from 2011 to 2018. Metabolically healthy status was defined as not having any component of metabolic syndrome or insulin resistance. Obesity was identified by %BF, which was measured and assessed by dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) scan. Participants were cross-classified by metabolic health and obesity
