The following clinical data were collected: age, sex, body mass index, causes of CKD, Kt/V, normalized protein catabolic rate, medical history, duration of HD, and medications.
E3N presented prospective associations adjusted for crude categorical variables for body mass index, which could cause substantial residual confounding.
It is thus likely that if vitamin D does indeed affect glucose homeostasis, its influence is probably minute and there may be other interacting factors, for example body mass index (BMI), which cause results from population studies to be less consistent.

To address the question, using mortality data from a national representative population-based data, this study aimed to examine the relationship of body mass index with all-cause mortality in older persons.

Although obesity-related insulin resistance and chronic inflammatory could be possible explanations for this phenomenon, increased body mass index is known to cause changes in the hormonal cycles and result in excessive adipose tissue [ 29, 30].
1 The causes of asthma are largely unknown; however, genetics and maternal factors such as smoking and high body mass index (BMI) have been reported as risk factors.
