Mehmet Kanbay, M.D. and colleagues conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to examine the associations between obesity and CKD independent of metabolic syndrome by focusing on metabolically healthy obese people. Data were included from 16 studies, with 4,965,285 participants.
Across individual studies, there was considerable heterogeneity in study design, participant characteristics, and number of participants. The researchers found that the risk for CKD was progressively higher in overweight and obese patients compared with healthy normal-weight participants (relative risks, 1.29 and 1.47, respectively).
