The study evaluated four traditional anthropometric obesity indices (body mass index [BMI], waist-to-height ratio [WHtR], body roundness index [BRI], conicity index [CI]) and four biochemical-anthropometric indices, including two Asian-specific indices (lipid accumulation product [LAP], visceral adiposity index [VAI], Chinese visceral adiposity index [CVAI], and new visceral adiposity index [NVAI]).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>WHtR, BRI, CI, CVAI, and NVAI were higher in males with CKD, while only CI, CVAI, and NVAI were elevated in females.
