Article Synopsis
- Protein-energy wasting (PEW) significantly increases mortality rates in maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients, especially due to cardiovascular disease (CVD), which is a leading cause of death in this group.
- Our study aimed to evaluate the predictive value of phase angle (PA), measured via bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA), in assessing PEW and cardiovascular risk in MHD patients.
- Using LASSO logistic regression on data from 161 patients, we found that a combination of PA and other body composition metrics could better predict PEW incidence than any single factor, showing a strong correlation between low PA and higher cardiovascular risk.*
The aim of our study was to evaluate the relationship between body mass index (BMI) and all-cause mortality among elderly Chinese. The subjects of our study were a cohort of 13 319 elderly Chinese enrolled between 2008 and 2018. Participants were classified in three groups: underweight (<18.
