Article Synopsis
- - This study investigates how different ways of measuring obesity affect mortality risk for patients on hemodialysis (HD), revealing conflicting findings across methods.
- - A systematic review analyzed data from 23 studies, finding that while body mass index (BMI) indicated a lower mortality risk for obese HD patients, other methods like waist circumference showed an increased risk.
- - The research highlights an "obesity paradox" in HD patients where higher BMI correlates with lower risk, suggesting that BMI may not effectively distinguish between fat and muscle mass, calling for further studies on obesity measurement techniques.
