Background and ObjectivesHigh plasma concentration of fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) is a risk factor for left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) in adults with CKD, and induces myocardial hypertrophy in experimental CKD. We hypothesized that high FGF23 levels associate with a higher prevalence of LVH in children with CKD.Design, setting, participants, & measurementsWe performed echocardiograms and measured plasma C-terminal FGF23 concentrations in 587 children with mild-to-moderate CKD enrolled in the Chronic Kidney Disease in Children (CKiD) study. We used linear and logistic regression to analyze the association of plasma FGF23 with left ventricular mass index (LVMI) and LVH (LVMI ≥95th percentile), adjusted for demographics, body mass index, eGFR, and CKD-specific factors. We also examined the relationship between FGF23 and LVH by eGFR level.ResultsMedian age was 12 years (interquartile range, 8–15) and eGFR was 50 ml/min per 1.73 m2 (interquartile range, 38–64). Overall prevalence of LVH was 11%. After adjustment for demographics and body mass index, the odds of having LVH was higher by 2.53 (95% confidence interval, 1.28 to 4.97; P<0.01) in participants with FGF23 concentrations ≥170 RU/ml compared with those with FGF23<100 RU/ml, but this association was attenuated after full adjustment. Among participants with eGFR≥45 ml/min per 1.73 m2, the prevalence of LVH was 5.4%, 11.2%, and 15.3% for those with FGF23 <100 RU/ml, 100–169 RU/ml, and ≥170 RU/ml, respectively (Ptrend=0.01). When eGFR was ≥45 ml/min per 1.73 m2, higher FGF23 concentrations were independently associated with LVH (fully adjusted odds ratio, 3.08 in the highest versus lowest FGF23 category; 95% confidence interval, 1.02 to 9.24; P<0.05; fully adjusted odds ratio, 2.02 per doubling of FGF23; 95% confidence interval, 1.29 to 3.17; P<0.01). By contrast, in participants with eGFR<45 ml/min per 1.73 m2, FGF23 did not associate with LVH.ConclusionsPlasma FGF23 concentration ≥170 RU/ml is an independent predictor of LVH in children with eGFR≥45 ml/min per 1.73 m2.

AbstractBackground:Indexing left ventricular mass to body surface area or height2.7 leads to inaccuracies in diagnosing left ventricular hypertrophy in obese children. Lean body mass predictive equations provide the opportunity to determine the utility of lean body mass in indexing left ventricular mass. Our objectives were to compare the diagnostic accuracy of predicted lean body mass, body surface area, and height in detecting abnormal left ventricle mass in obese children.Methods:Obese non-hypertensive patients aged 4–21 years were recruited prospectively. Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry was used to measure lean body mass. Height, weight, sex, race, and body mass index z-score were used to calculate predicted lean body mass.Results:We enrolled 328 patients. Average age was 12.6 ± 3.8 years. Measured lean body mass had the strongest relationship with left ventricular mass (R2 = 0.84, p < 0.01) compared to predicted lean body mass (R2 = 0.82, p < 0.01), body surface area (R2 = 0.80, p < 0.01), and height2.7 (R2 = 0.65, p < 0.01). Of the clinically derived variables, predicted lean body mass was the only measure to have an independent association with left ventricular mass (β = 0.90, p < 0.01). Predicted lean body mass was the most accurate scaling variable in detecting left ventricular hypertrophy (positive predictive value = 88%, negative predictive value = 99%).Conclusions:Lean body mass is the strongest predictor of left ventricular mass in obese children. Predicted lean body mass is the most accurate anthropometric scaling variable for left ventricular mass in left ventricular hypertrophy detection. Predicted lean body mass should be considered for clinical use as the body size correcting variable for left ventricular mass in obese children.

Wstęp: Wysiłkowe nietrzymanie moczu (WNM) i otyłość są problemami uznanymi przez Światową Organizację Zdrowia (World Health Organization – WHO) za choroby społeczne. Według International Continence Society 10–40% kobiet ma kłopoty z nietrzymaniem moczu (NM). Nadwaga i otyłość stanowią jeden z największych problemów zdrowotnych kobiet w okresie okołomenopauzalnym. Celem przeprowadzonych badań była analiza wpływu WNM na aktywność ruchową (AR) kobiet w zależności od masy ciała.Materiał i metody: W badaniu wzięły udział 54 kobiety w wieku 41–67 lat z WNM. Wykonano pomiary antropometryczne. Aktywność ruchowa została zbadana za pomocą kwestionariuszy autorskich. Istotność statystyczną obliczono w programie Statistica 12 testami normalności rozkładu, współczynnika korelacji oraz testami nieparametrycznymi i post-hoc.Wyniki: Średnia wieku badanych wynosiła 55 ±7 lat. Wskaźnik masy ciała (Body Mass Index – BMI) u badanych kształtował się następująco: w normie (N1) – 11 (20,4%), z nadwagą (N2) – 33 (59,2%), otyłość (N3) – 11 (20,4%); 94% (51 osób) stanowiły pacjentki o budowie ciała androidalnej, 6% (3 osoby) o gynoidalnej. Aktywność ruchową przed pojawieniem się problemów z WNM pacjentki oceniały jako tryb życia: siedzący – 12 (22,2%), aktywny – 23 (42,6%), mieszany – 19 (35,2%). Na pytanie dotyczące wpływu pojawienia się problemów z WNM na AR pacjentki odpowiadały: trochę – 13 (24,1%), umiarkowanie – 14 (25,9%), bardzo – 27 (50%). Nie wykazano różnic istotnych statystycznie w grupach N1, N2, N3 pod względem wpływu WNM na AR.Wnioski: Największą uciążliwość WNM wpływającą na AR odczuwały pacjentki z nadwagą. Nie została jednak wykazana istotna zależność w tym zakresie. W badanej grupie chorych przeważający był androidalny typ budowy ciała oceniany za pomocą wskaźnika WHR
