Anthropomorphic measurements that include central fat distribution are more closely related with key risk factors than BMI in CKD stage 3.
<h4>Background</h4>Body Mass Index (BMI) as a marker of obesity is an established risk factor for chronic kidney disease (CKD) and cardiovascular disease (CVD). However, BMI can overestimate obesity. Anthropomorphic measurements that include central fat deposition are emerging as a more...

We studied BMI, waist circumference (WC), waist-to-height ratio (WHtR), waist-to-hip ratio (WHR) and conicity index (CI) in a cohort of patients with CKD stage 3 and compared the associations with other known risk factors for CKD progression and CVD.<h4>Methods</h4>1740 patients with CKD stage 3 were recruited from primary care for the Renal Risk in Derby study.
