Background
The reversal of the obesity–mortality association has been very robust in patients with end-stage renal disease, but a limited number of studies show conflicting results in patients with non-dialysis-dependent chronic kidney disease (NDD-CKD). Several earlier studies found that the association of body mass index (BMI) with CKD is not straightforward in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). The relationship of obesity with CKD has not been fully explored in Asian populations.
Methods
This study evaluated patients aged >18 years with T2DM obtained from the largest database of the National Health Security System (NHS) of Thailand from 2011to 2014. We aimed to determine the apparent optimum BMI range based on the World Health Organization’s (WHO) criteria concerning the risk of advanced CKD (stages G4 and G5).
Results
With regard to the 27,392 patients, 62% were female, 3% had CKD stage G4 and 1% had CKD stage G5. The mean (±SD) age of the patients was 64±12years old. Mean BMI was 24.9±4.5 kg/m2. The prevalence of having advanced CKD by BMI groups wasBMI (15–20 kg/m2) 6.5%, BMI (20–25 kg/m2) 4.3% (as reference), BMI (25–30 kg/m2) 3.1%, and BMI (>30 kg/m2) 2.6%. The multivariate analysis identified the odds ratio (OR) of BMI (adjusted OR; 95% confidence interval [CI]; P-value) as an independent risk factor for advanced CKD as 1.39; 1.15–1.6; 0.001, 0.8; 0.67–0.94; 0.008, and 0.75; 0.58–0.97; 0.03, respectively (Figure 1).
Conclusion
Patients with advanced CKD in public healthcare practices have strikingly higher rates of low BMI. The negative association of BMI with CKD could reflect reverse causality. This is the first epidemiological paradox that may of concern and be reported in a Southeastern Asian population.
