His team analysed data from around 300,000 participants in the UK, using one of the largest collections of human kidney samples.
They extracted information on the two most common measurements of obesity: body mass index (BMI) and waist circumference (WC). These were correlated with various measurements of kidney function....
...Dr Xiaoguang Xu, from Manchester University, said: “Our evidence substantiates the value of weight loss as a strategy of preventing or reversing a decline in kidney health, as well as decreasing the risk of renal disease. We hope our findings will help to stimulate further research and drive the development of public health policies to improve kidney health through encouraging weight loss.”URL https://www.mirror.co.uk/lifestyle/health/piling-pounds-crippling-your-kidneys-26548807 Persons Xiaoguang Xu, Maciej Tomaszewski
