Unadjusted and adjusted associations between WHR, BMI and incident kidney disease.

Predictor Method Model Per unit increase Per SD increase
OR 95% CI OR 95% CI
WHR Creatinine Unadjusted 1.81 1.54-2.12 1.60 1.41-1.82

Adjusted 1.29 1.07-1.56 1.22 1.05-1.43

eGFR Unadjusted 1.35 1.22-1.49 1.27 1.17-1.37

Adjusted 1.17 0.99-1.34 1.09 0.99-1.21

BMI Creatinine Unadjusted 1.11 1.06-1.15 1.28 1.15-1.41

Adjusted 1.03 0.97-1.08 1.05 0.93-1.20

eGFR Unadjusted 1.04 1.01-1.07 1.11 1.03-1.19

Adjusted 0.99 0.96-1.03 0.99 0.90-1.08

WHR, waist to hip ratio; BMI, body mass index; eGFR, estimated glomerular filtration rate; OR, odds ratio; SD, standard deviation

One unit increase is 0.1 unit increase in WHR or 1 kg/m2 increase in BMI.

Models adjusted for age, sex, African American race, high school graduation, prior cardiovascular disease, diabetes, hypertension, current smoking and alcohol consumption, systolic blood pressure, HDL and total cholesterol, albumin, hematocrit, baseline kidney function, and study of origin
