Association between obesity and risk of chronic kidney disease: A nationwide Cohort study in Taiwan

Increased body fat relates to enhanced inflammatory cytokine production, which, in turn, activates the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system and increases the risk of chronic kidney disease (CKD). Herein, we aimed to examine the association between obesity and the risk of CKD in a population-represen...

Description
Summary:Increased body fat relates to enhanced inflammatory cytokine production, which, in turn, activates the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system and increases the risk of chronic kidney disease (CKD). Herein, we aimed to examine the association between obesity and the risk of CKD in a population-representative cohort in Taiwan. A multistage systematic sampling process was applied in the National Health Interview Survey (NHIS) 2000, 2005, and 2009. Participants were interviewed by a standardized face-to-face questionnaire to obtain information on their demographics, socioeconomic status, lifestyle factors, and body mass index (BMI). The BMI values were classified as follows: underweight (
