Abstract
Higher BMI is associated with lower death risk across all age and dialysis vintage groups. This benefit is more pronounced in incident HD patients and those younger than 65 years. Given the robustness of the survival advantage of higher BMI, examining interventions to maintain or even increase dry weight in HD patients irrespective of age and vintage are warranted.
