Changes in metabolic overweight phenotypes over time and risk of nephrolithiasis: a cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Overweight/obesity is considered an independent risk factor for nephrolithiasis, but little is known about its effect on nephrolithiasis according to metabolic health status.

Objectives

We aimed to investigate the association between various metabolic overweight phenotypes and the occurrence of nephrolithiasis. It also explores whether changes in these phenotypes over time influence the risk of nephrolithiasis.

Materials and methods

A total of 10,315 participants free of nephrolithiasis who underwent an annual health checkup from 2017 to 2022 were included in our prospective cohort study. They were categorized into four groups according to the presence of overweight and metabolic abnormalities (MA). The primary endpoint was the occurrence of renal stones. M
