Dong Y, et al. - Researchers sought to evaluate the link between chronic kidney disease (CKD) and obesity in predicting CKD among Chinese adults, distinguishing between 5 different adiposity indices: visceral fat index (VFI), percentage body fat (PBF), body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC) and waist-to-height ratio (WHtR). They noted the association of obesity with an increased risk of CKD. Moreover, compared with other adiposity indices (BMI, WC, WHtR, and VFI), PBF served as a better predictor for detecting CKD.
