Association between adiposity indices and incident albuminuria: Results from the Brazilian Longitudinal Study of Adult Health (ELSA-Brasil).
Article in BMC nephrology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundAlbuminuria is an early indicator of kidney damage, and obesity is one of its main risk factors. Increased adiposity has been shown to be associated with albuminuria. Therefore, the aim of this study was to analyse the association between adiposity indices (BMI, WC, WHtR and WHR) and the incidence of albuminuria in Brazilian adults.
methodsA total of 12,399 participants from the ELSA-Brasil cohort baseline (2008–2010) who were free of albuminuria and attended visit 2 of the study (2012–2014) were included in this study. The outcome was albuminuria (urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio ≥ 30 mg/g), and the adiposity indices were the exposure of interest. Logistic regression models were used to estimate the magnitude of the associations, adjusting for covariates.
resultsThe mean age was 51.70 (± 8.87) years, and the majority were female (54.53%). The incidence of albuminuria was 2.82% during a mean follow-up period of 3.84 (± 0.57) years. The mean BMI, WC, WHtR and WHR adiposity indices were: 26.85 (± 4.61) kg/m², 90.74 (± 12.51) cm, 55.02 (± 7.39) % and 89.25 (± 8.60) %, respectively. A one unit increase in adiposity indices was associated with an increase of one to three percent of odds the albuminuria, these associations remained significant even after adjusting for covariates.
conclusionsIncreased central and global adiposity indices are associated with incident albuminuria. It is vital to implement health interventions to prevent increased adiposity, given that it is a predictor of albuminuria. CLINICAL TRIAL NUMBER: Not applicable.
