Sex-Specific Predictive Value of Obesity-Related Indicators for Diabetic Kidney Disease in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus.
Key takeaways
This study looked at 1,586 people with type 2 diabetes to see how body fat measures link to kidney disease. It checked if these links differ between men and women. The study shows a connection, but it does not prove that body fat causes the kidney damage.
