Both low muscle mass and low fat are associated with higher all-cause mortality in hemodialysis patients.

摘要: A higher body mass index is associated with better outcomes in hemodialysis patients; however, this does not differentiate between fat and muscle mass. In order to clarify this, we examined the relationship measures of mortality 1709 patients from Hemodialysis Study. Triceps skin-fold thickness was used assess mid-arm circumference Cox regression evaluate composition all-cause after adjustments for demographic, cardiovascular, dialysis, nutrition-related risk factors. During a median follow-up 2.5 years, there were 802 deaths. adjusted models continuous covariates, triceps significantly decreased hazards mortality, while showed trend toward mortality. models, lower quartiles thickness, circumference, all These studies show that end-stage renal disease bears complex
