Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Modifiable factors, such as body size and body composition, could influence physical function and quality of life in patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis (MHD). DESIGN, SETTING, PARTICIPANTS, & MEASUREMENTS: From January 2008 to June 2012, in body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC), and magnetic resonance imaging measurements of midthigh muscle area (MTMA) and intra-abdominal fat area (IAFA) were obtained at baseline in 105 MHD patients. Six-minute walk distances and physical and mental component scores (PCS and MCS) from the Short Form-12 questionnaire were obtained at baseline and 6 and 12 months. Separate mixed-effects regression models were used to relate baseline BMI, WC, and IAFA with baseline and the average of follow-up 6-minute walk distances and PCS and MCS after adjustment for baseline covariates and MTMA. RESULTS: for baseline covariates and baseline MTMA, each SD increase in baseline BMI was inversely associated with baseline (-31.5 m; 95% confidence interval [95% CI], -53.0 to -10.0 m) and follow-up (-36.9 m; 95% CI, -54.6 to -19.2 m) 6-minute walk distances. Results were similar for WC and IAFA. In each of these models, each SD increase in MTMA had a strong positive association with 6-minute walk distance. Adiposity measures were not associated with baseline or follow-up PCS and MCS. After adjustment for baseline BMI, each SD increase in baseline MTMA was associated with higher baseline PCS score (3.78; 95% CI, 0.73 to 6.82) and MCS (3.75; 95% CI, 0.44 to 7.05) but had weaker associations with follow-up PCS and MCS. CONCLUSIONS: Body size and composition are significantly associated with physical functioning and quality of life. Interventions that improve muscle mass and decrease obesity might improve these measures in patients undergoing MHD.
