AB  - BACKGROUND: The relationship between abdominal obesity (AO) and mortality in 
      peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients is controversial. METHODS: The prevalence of AO 
      in 84 PD patients was assessed in a cross-section manner and followed up for 9 
      years at a single center. AO was defined as a waist circumference (WC) of more 
      than 90 cm in males or more than 80 cm in females. The patients were classified 
      as either with AO(AO group) or without AO(nAO group). RESULTS: The AO group was 
      older, contained more diabetics, more females, and had higher Charlson 
      comorbidity index (aCCI) scores, BMI, and triglyceride and lower serum creatinine 
      than the non-AO subjects. The follow-up duration was 53.2+/-34.4 months. At the end 
      of the follow-up, eighteen patients (21.4%) were dead; 9 died of cardiovascular 
      causes. The five year survival rate was 40.8%. Kaplan-Meier analysis revealed 
      that both all-cause and cardiovascular-cause mortalities were similar in the AO 
      and nAO groups. Multivariate analysis revealed the presence of AO not to be an 
      independent risk factor of all-cause and cardiovascular-cause mortality. 
      CONCLUSION: AO itself might not be a risk factor for mortality in PD patients. 
      Nevertheless, further prospective studies with a large number of patients will be 
      needed to prove this.
