Odds Ratios for Kidney Function Decline by BMI Categories

A clinical research dataset from figshare provides odds ratios for a significant decline in estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) over a two-year period, categorized by body mass index (BMI). The dataset was authored by Miki Nakamura and last updated on 2026-05-21. It is a small, 13.5 KB XLS file.

Use Cases

• Assessing the association between BMI categories and kidney function decline based on the provided odds ratios.
• Modeling risk factors for chronic kidney disease progression using the eGFR decline metric.
• Conducting meta-analyses on body weight and renal health by incorporating the reported statistical measures.

Strengths

• Dataset is openly licensed under CC-BY-4.0, permitting broad reuse.
• File size of 13.5 KB indicates a focused, specific set of results.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
