BMI, body mass index; eGFR, estimated glomerular filtration rate; HDL‐C, high‐density lipoprotein cholesterol; LDL‐C, low‐density lipoprotein cholesterol; PUFT, Para‐perirenal ultrasonographic fat thickness (PUFT); RA, rectis‐aorta thickness; WC, waist circumference.

In these models were tested alternatively BMI, WC, WC/H, or BSA along with all the other covariates, with similar results (see text).
