BMI, body mass index; CKD, chronic kidney disease; DM, Diabetes Mellitus; FFM, fat free mass; FFMI, fat free mass index; FM, fat mass; FMI, fat mass index; HD, hemodialysis; OH, overhydration; PA, phase angle; PD, peritoneal dialysis; SAH, Systemic Arterial Hypertension. Data presented as mean ± SD (minimum value to maximum value) or in %. Values with different letters in the same line between BMI subgroups, PD and HD groups are significantly different, p<0.05 (ANOVA). 1According to the obtained PA and the cut-off points proposed by Kuchnia and collaborators [24]. 2Data analyzed with unpaired t test, PD vs HD, ***p<0.001. FFM, FFMI, FM, FMI, OH and PA data from multifrequency bioelectrical impedance spectroscopy.
