简介
Background
Lean body mass (LBM) represents the “fat-free” muscle mass in hemodialysis (HD) patients and is an important nutritional measure. Previous studies have found that both higher LBM and body mass index (BMI) were related to greater survival in HD patients. Additional studies have shown differences in survival across racial-ethnic groups of HD patients. However, the association of LBM and mortality across racial-ethnic subgroups has not been examined.
Objective
We hypothesize that racial differences in LBM affect the mortality in HD patients.
Setting and Subjects
Chronic HD patients from a large dialysis organization in the United States.
Predictors
Estimated LBM (eLBM), self-identified racial subgroups.
Main Outcome Measure
5-year survival.
Study Design
We examined the association between baseline eLBM and survival using Cox proportional hazard models adjusted for demographics, comorbidities …
