Background. Haemodialysis (HD) patients with lower body mass index (BMI) have a higher relative mortality risk (RR), irrespective of race. However, only Asian Americans treated with HD have been found to have an elevated RR with higher BMI. Asian Americans on HD are 'healthier' than other race groups (i.e. have better overall survival). We hypothesized that an increased mortality risk might be associated with high BMI in a variety of other 'healthier' subgroups of HD patients.Methods. The prospective Dialysis Outcomes and Practice Patterns Study (DOPPS) provided baseline demographic. comorbidity and BMI data on 9714 HD patients in the US and Europe (France. Germany, Italy, Spain, and the UK) from 1996-2000. Using multivariate survival analyses, we evaluated BMI-mortality relationships in HD subpopulations defined by continent, race (black and white), gender, tertiles of severity of illness (based on a score derived from comorbid conditions and serum albumin concentration), age (
