4. Figure 3
Kaplan-Meier plot of patient survival by quartile of body mass index (BMI) in kg/m2, hemodialysis patients only, Dialysis Morbidity and Mortality Wave II (DMMS Wave II). Patients in the lowest two quartiles of BMI consistently had the worst survival, while those in the highest two quartiles had equivalent survival after approximately 2years. Quartiles of BMI = 4 (>29.9), 3(>25.0–29.9), 2(21.9–24.9), 1(<21.9). Quartile of BMI 1 P < 0.01 by log-rank test vs. highest quartile.

Kaplan-Meier plot of patient survival by body mass index (BMI) ≥ 30 kg/m2 or less, hemodialysis patients only, Dialysis Morbidity and Mortality Wave II (DMMS Wave II). Patients with BMI ≥ 30 kg/m2 had improved survival compared to those with lower BMI, P < 0.01 by log-rank test.

Kaplan-Meier plot of patient survival by quartile of body mass index (BMI) in kg/m2, peritoneal dialysis patients only, Dialysis Morbidity and Mortality Wave II (DMMS Wave II). Patients in the lowest quartile of BMI had the lowest survival, but this was not statistically significant (P = 0.09 by Log Rank test vs. highest quartile). Quartiles of BMI = 4 (>29.5), 3(>25.7–29.5), 2(22.4–25.7), 1(<22.4).

Analysis fromFigure 5censored for change to hemodialysis showed a lower rate of death overall, but a similar relationship between body mass index (BMI) and survival.
