Association between anthropometric indices and chronic kidney disease: Insights from NHANES 2009-2018.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

The strong association between obesity and chronic kidney disease (CKD) has been empirically validated, yet traditional measures like the Body Mass Index (BMI) fail to accurately assess the extent of obesity due to CKD's characteristics, such as reduced muscle mass and increased visceral fat. This study investigates the association between CKD and several anthropometric indices, including A Body Shape Index (ABSI), Body Roundness Index (BRI), Waist-to-Height Ratio (WHtR), and the Conicity Index (C-index), to determine their predictive capabilities.

Methods

Based on the datasets from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2009-2018, weighted multivariable regression analyses were carried out to examine the independent relationship between t
