Association of intraabdominal fat with the risk of incident chronic kidney disease according to body mass index among Korean adults.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The association between abdominal visceral adipose tissue and the risk of incident chronic kidney disease according to body mass index in the Asian population, remains unclear. We evaluated the impact of abdominal adiposity stratified by body mass index on the risk of incident chronic kidney disease.

Methods

A cohort study included 11,050 adult participants who underwent health check-ups and re-evaluated the follow-up medical examination at a single university-affiliated healthcare center. Cross-sectional abdominal adipose tissue areas were measured using computed tomography. The primary outcome was progression to chronic kidney disease (estimated glomerular filtration rate <60 ml/min/1.73m2). The highest quartile of visceral adipose tissue was used for the cut-of
