Cox proportional hazard and restricted cubic spline models were used to assess the relationships between obesity indexes and the risk of CKD.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>During a median follow-up of 35 months in the Binhai cohort, 14,435 CKD cases were identified, while 358,918 CKD cases were observed in the U.K. Biobank cohort during 161 months of follow-up. The risk of CKD increased with increasing quartile levels of the Chinese Visceral Adiposity Index (CVAI) (P for trend &amp;lt; 0.001). CVAI was associated with increased CKD risk (hazard ratio in comparing the highest to the lowest quintile = 1.22 [95% CI 1.16-1.30]) and its predictive ability was the highest among the 10 obesity indexes, with an AUC value of 0.588 (0.581-0.594) in the female subgroup of the Binhai cohort. All of the obesity indexes were negatively correlated with estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Discussion<\/jats:title><jats:p>Findings from two
