The Obesity‐Survival Paradox in Hemodialysis Patients: Why Do Overweight Hemodialysis Patients Live Longer?

Schmidt, Darren, Salahudeen, Abdulla·2007·Nutrition in Clinical Practice

Abstract

Obesity is increasingly common in the United States, and it frequently coexists with diabetes and hypertension. Given that diabetes and hypertension are the 2 most common causes of end‐stage renal disease, it is not surprising that obesity is also highly prevalent in the US hemodialysis population. However, unlike in the general population, obesity is associated with improved survival in hemodialysis patients. This phenomenon, the obesity‐survival paradox, is neither universally accepted nor completely understood. In this article, we review the available data and provide potential reasons for the obesity‐survival paradox in the dialysis population.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
