RR = relative risk, CI = confidence interval, IgAN = IgA nephropathy, FSGS = focal segmental glomerulosclerosis, MCD = minimal change disease, MN = membranous nephropathy, DMN = diabetic nephropathy, LN = lupus nephropathy, HT-N = hypertensive nephropathy, MPGN = membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis.

aObesity was defined as body mass index ≥ 30 kg/m2.

bThe risks of kidney disease were adjusted by age, sex, systolic blood pressure, serum albumin, glucose, estimated glomerular filtration rate, hemoglobin, total cholesterol, cancer, and cardiovascular disease.
