Does the obesity survival paradox of dialysis patients differ with age?
There is a survival benefit with increasing BMI in patients overall. However, while these results persist in patients>65 years, in young people there are no changes in mortality. Patients with the highest inter-annual variability in weight have an increased risk.
We found season and RH jointly modified the associations between ambient pollution and IHD admissions, resulting in increased IHD admissions in the cool and dry season and reduced admissions in the warm and humid season.
