HTGW phenotype may flag higher CKD risk in elderly Chinese men; leaves open causality and broader applicability pending longitudinal data.
Is the hypertriglyceridemic waist (HTGW) phenotype associated with chronic kidney disease (CKD) in an urban Chinese elderly population?
The hypertriglyceridemic waist phenotype is positively associated with chronic kidney disease in elderly Chinese individuals, with a potentially greater impact in men.
