Association of body size with outcomes among patients beginning dialysis.
Am J Clin Nutr. 2004; (2): 324-32
Although obesity confers an increased risk of mortality in the general population, observational reports on the dialysis population have suggested that obesity is associated with improved survival. These reports have generally not examined extremely high values of body mass index (BMI; in kg/m(2)), survival >1 y, or alternative measures of adiposity.
