Waist-to-Hip Ratio, Cardiovascular Outcomes, and Death in Peritoneal Dialysis Patients

Table 2

Correlations between systemic inflammatory markers and anthropomorphic measures.

	Waist-to-Hip ratio; 𝑟 (P)	Waist circumference; 𝑟 (P)	Body mass index; 𝑟 (P)
Inflammatory markers
CRP	NS	0.45 (P =  .04)	NS
TNF-𝛼	0.45 (P =  .05)	0.58 (P =  .007)	NS
IL-6	NS	NS	NS

𝑟: correlation coefficient, CRP: C-reactive protein, TNF-𝛼: tumor necrosis factor-𝛼, IL-6: interleukin-6, and NS: nonsignificant.
