Comparison of visceral, body fat indices and anthropometric measures in relation to chronic kidney disease among Chinese adults from a large scale cross-sectional study.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND:The aim of the study was to assess the association between chronic kidney disease (CKD) and obesity in predicting CKD among Chinese adults, distinguishing between 5 different adiposity indices: visceral fat index (VFI), percentage body fat (PBF), body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC) and waist-to-height ratio (WHtR). METHODS:A total of 29,516 participants aged 35 years or above were selected using a stratified multistage random sampling method across China during 2012-2015. CKD was defined as an estimated glomerular filtration (eGFR) < 60 ml/min/1.72m2. RESULTS:The overall weighted prevalence of CKD was 3.94% (3.62% in males and 4.25% in females). All five adiposity indices had significant negative correlations to eGFR (P < 0.05). The area under the ROC (receiver opera
