Patients in the high EAT density group were significantly older (p = 0.002), had a lower BMI (p < 0.001), had a prior history of CKD (p = 0.01) and stroke (p = 0.03), and were classified more frequently into CD stages 3 (p < 0.001) and 4 (p = 0.03) than those in the low EAT density group (Table S6). This evidence concerns the gene MCL1 and chronic kidney disease.
