Waist-to-height ratio as a non-invasive marker of renal sinus fat: a MRI-based cohort study
Adiposity measures incorporating waist circumference are associated with RSF independent of BMI. While RSF exhibits a stronger relationship with adiposity measures, RSF% predicts eGFR. Both metrics offer complementary insights and should be considered in future studies.
