摘要: Objective. The aim of the study was to assess body fat (BF) composition in hemodialysis (HD) patients using anthropometry and bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) investigate relationships between BIA-determined BF nutritional parameters different weight groupings. Design. Cross-sectional study. Setting. A tertiary-care university hospital. Methods. 164 HD (M/F: 89/75, mean age: 48.4 ± 15.8 years, duration: 58.2 42.6 months) were divided into three groups according mass index (BMI): normal (NW: BMI 18.5–24.9), overweight (OW: 25–29.9), obese (OB, ≥ 30). Biochemical foot-to-foot BIA compared groups. Results. Ninety-six (59%) NW, 40 (24%) OW, 28 (17%) OB. Average skinfold thickness (p = 0.005), mid-arm circumference 0.001), BF% fat-free (FFM) 0.03) all significantly greater OB group than in...
