Abstract

Anthropometric methods are screening techniques for assessing nutritional stores of fat and lean tissues among persons with renal disease. This report presents cross-sectional baseline data on anthropometric indicators of nutritional status from a group of hemodialysis patients in a multicenter clinical trial, the Hemodialysis (HEMO) Study.
