Lower body mass index potentiates the association between skipping breakfast and prevalence of proteinuria.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Proteinuria is an important predictor of cardiovascular disease and mortality. Several studies reported the association between skipping breakfast and the prevalence of proteinuria.
