Lean mass and age are strong determinants of glomerular filtration rate in healthy men
To investigate the association between GFR and body composition in healthy young men with differing body mass. Three age-matched groups were recruited: normal BMI (n=22)<25kg/m2, muscular (n=23) with BMI>30 kg/m2 and BIA body fat ≤20%, and obese (n=22) with BMI≥30kg/m2 and BIA body fat>30%....

| Summary: | To investigate the association between GFR and body composition in healthy young men with differing body mass.
Three age-matched groups were recruited: normal BMI (n=22)<25kg/m2, muscular (n=23) with BMI>30 kg/m2 and BIA body fat ≤20%, and obese (n=22) with BMI≥30kg/m2 and BIA body fat>30%. Dietary analyses, GFR by clearance of 99mTc-DTPA, and body composition by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) were measured in all participants.
Muscular men had higher GFR (mean 186.4 mL/min; 95% CI 171.7–201.1) than normal BMI and obese groups (p=0.0007). Fat mass protein intake, and smoking status were not associated with GFR; whereas lean mass had the strongest association with GFR. In all subgroups, skeletal muscle mass correlated significantly with GFR (p=0.04). In multi-variate models, variables with the strongest associations with GFR were age (p=0.0009) and lean mass (p=0.0001).
Age and lean mass were strong determinants of GFR in healthy men of various body compositions. We estimate that GFR decreases by 1mL/min/year of age and increases 2.3mL/min/kg of lean mass in healthy men. |
