Fig. 2From: Impact of lower body mass index on risk of all-cause mortality and infection-related death in Japanese chronic kidney disease patientsSurvival curves for patients with chronic kidney disease according to BMI group. Among 2648 patients with CKD, 114 patients died and 308 patients progressed to ESKD. Kaplan-Meier survival curves showed that the survival risk was significantly associated with the lower BMI group (log-rank χ2 = 15.5, P = 0.0014), but the incidence of ESKD did not differ between the defined BMI groupsBack to article page
