Gender difference in the association of chronic kidney disease with visceral adiposity index and lipid accumulation product index in Korean adults: Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey

초록

Background This study was conducted to assess gender difference in the association of chronic kidney disease (CKD) with visceral adiposity index (VAI) and lipid accumulation product index (LAP) in Korean adults. Materials and methods The study was performed using data from the 2015 Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey and included 4947 adults aged 20 years or older. Results There were several key findings in the present study. First, overall, after adjusting for related variables (including age), CKD (estimated glomerular filtration rate < 60 ml/min/1.73 m(2)) was positively associated with the quartiles of VAI and LAP. Second, when analyzed separately for gender, the results in men and women were different. After adjusting for the related variables (except age), CKD was positively associated with the quartiles of VAI and LAP in both men and women. After further adjustment for age, CKD was still positively associated with the quartiles of VAI and LAP in men. However, in women, the relationships between CKD and the quartiles of VAI and LAP were no longer significant. Conclusions The VAI and LAP index were positively associated with CKD in Korean men but not in women.
