Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the association between body mass index (BMI) and waist circumference (WC) with all-cause mortality in middle-aged and elderly patients receiving maintenance hemodialysis (MHD).Methods:It was a prospective cohort study. The clinical data of MHD patients aged ≥50 years old from eleven hemodialysis centers from April to June 2017 in Beijing were analyzed. The patients were divided into low BMI group [body mass index (BMI)<18.5 kg/m 2], normal BMI group (18.5 kg/m 2≤BMI <24.0 kg/m 2), overweight group (24.0 kg/m 2≤BMI<28.0 kg/m 2) and obesity group (BMI≥28.0 kg/m 2) by BMI, and central obesity group (male ≥85 cm, female ≥80 cm) and normal WC group (male <85 cm, female <80 cm) by WC. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis method was used to compare the difference of all-cause mortality between those groups. Multivariate Cox regression model was used to analyze the association of BMI and WC with all-cause mortality. Results:A total of 613 MHD patients were enrolled, with age of (63.82±7.14) years old and 258 (42.09%) females. There were 46 (7.50%) patients in the low BMI group, 303 (49.43%) patients in the normal BMI group, 227 (37.03%) patients in the overweight group and 37 (6.04%) patients in the obesity group. In addition, 346 (56.44%) patients were categorized as central obesity. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis results showed that the all-cause mortality rates of low BMI group (log-rank χ2=13.571, P<0.001) and obesity group (log-rank χ2=6.664 P=0.010) were higher than that of normal BMI group, and the all-cause mortality rate of central obesity group was higher than that of normal WC group (log-rank χ2=5.698, P=0.017). Multivariate Cox regression analysis results showed that,besides the low BMI group and obesity group (with normal BMI group as a reference, HR=5.289, 95% CI 2.318-12.067, P<0.001; HR=5.360, 95% CI 2.088-13.760, P<0.001, respectively), normal BMI and overweight combined with central obesity were also independently correlated with all-cause mortality (with normal WC group as a reference, HR=2.605, 95% CI 1.199-5.663, P=0.016; HR=1.787, 95% CI 1.026-3.732, P=0.031, respectively). Conclusions:Lower and higher BMI or combined central obesity are independently associated with all-cause mortality in the middle-aged and elderly patients receiving MHD.
