Obesity and chronic kidney disease (CKD) are major public health problems worldwide. However, the association between body mass index (BMI) and CKD is inconclusive in Asians. In this meta-analysis, eight population-based studies, from China, India, Russia (Asian), Singapore and South Korea, provided individual-level data (n=50037). CKD was defined as an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) <60 mL/min/1.73 m
