Body mass index-mortality paradox in hemodialysis patients: blood pressure, blood volume, and nutritional status.
In the general population, there is a clear association between body mass index (BMI) and mortality.1 However, in hemodialysis patients, a number of clinical studies have demonstrated that BMI is inversely related to mortality.2,3 The explanation for this interesting paradox is unknown. In this edition of the journal, Agarwal4 conducted a cross-sectional analysis of 368 dialysis patients in his...
متن کاملBody mass index-mortality paradox in hemodialysis: can it be explained by blood pressure?
Unlike the general population, among hemodialysis patients body mass index (BMI) is related to blood pressure (BP) and mortality inversely. To explore the reasons for this risk-factor paradox, the cross-sectional association of obesity with the following factors was examined: the prevalence of hypertension, its control, and echocardiographic left ventricular mass index (LVMI). Longitudinal foll...

متن کاملInfluence of body mass index on the association of weight changes with mortality in hemodialysis patients.
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES A high body mass index (BMI) is associated with lower mortality in patients undergoing hemodialysis. Short-term weight gains and losses are also related to lower and higher mortality risk, respectively. The implications of weight gain or loss may, however, differ between obese individuals and their nonobese counterparts. DESIGN, SETTING, PARTICIPANTS, & MEASUREMENTS ...
متن کامل[Relationship between body mass index and all-cause mortality in hemodialysis patients: a meta-analysis].
OBJECTIVE To explore the relationship between the different body mass index (BMI) ranges and all cause mortality in hemodialysis (HD) patients. METHODS Eligible studies assessing the effects of BMI ranges on all-cause mortality (published from 1966 to 2012) were searched, using "hemodialysis/haemodialysis" and "obese/body mass index/overweight" and "mortality/survival/reverse epidemiology/obe...
