Abstract

Background

Although interest in the relationship between obesity and kidney disease is increasing, few epidemiologic studies have examined whether excess weight is an independent risk factor for end-stage renal disease (ESRD).

Objective

To determine the association between increased body mass index (BMI) and risk for ESRD.
