Waist circumference was strongly associated with visceral fat in patients with CKD. Associations between waist circumference and cardiovascular disease risk factors were similar to those observed for visceral fat, particularly in men. These findings suggest that waist circumference may be a simple and inexpensive tool to be used in epidemiological studies.
