Abstract
Frailty, which is associated with poor outcomes in chronic HD patients, is common and predicted by fat mass and waist circumference but not by body mass index and muscle mass. Interventions to modify abdominal obesity, reflected by waist circumference, could potentially lower the incidence of frailty and hence improve the quality of life in the HD population.
