The change in the prevalence of obesity and new-onset diabetes in Chinese peritoneal dialysis patients over 25 years

Clinical Kidney Journal Aug 01, 2021

Than WH, Ng JKC, Chan GCK, et al. - Since the global prevalence of both obesity and end-stage kidney diseases (ESKD) has increased in recent decades, researchers sought to explore the change in the prevalence of obesity in incident Chinese peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients over the past 25 years in light of the complicated interaction between obesity and ESKD. From 1995 to 2019, they reviewed the anthropometric measures of incident PD patients in a single Hong Kong center. Patients with and without diabetes were studied separately, and the incidence of new-onset diabetes after PD was investigated. One thousand six hundred eighty-one patients were examined. Obesity has increased significantly in both diabetic and non-diabetic new PD patients in Hong Kong over the last 25 years. In new PD patients with pre-existing obesity or overweight, the incidence of new-onset diabetes was considerably higher than in those without obesity.
