Impact of abdominal fat distribution on mortality and its changes over time in patients undergoing hemodialysis: a prospective cohort study

This study aimed to investigate the impact of computed tomography (CT)-measured abdominal fat levels, including the visceral fat area (VFA) and subcutaneous fat area (SFA), on all-cause mortality in patients undergoing hemodialysis (HD) and investigate whether there are sex-specific particularities regarding the associations between the abovementioned parameters.
