Even Modest Weight Gain Raises Kidney Disease Risk

Relatively small increases in weight raise the risk of chronic kidney disease (CKD), according to a study by Korean researchers.

The study suggests that CKD should be added to the list of conditions associated with weight gain, such as diabetes and high blood pressure.

Obesity was already a known risk factor for CKD, but the impact of weight gain in normal-weight individuals without high blood pressure or diabetes is unknown.

The question that springs to mind when I read this  - Is it the weight gain causing the increased risk of CKD or the type of food being eaten that caused the weight gain that also contributed to the increased risk of CKD?

Yo, Moderators!  I think we have some 'male enhancement' spam here.

Thank you Moderators for deleting that rather objectionable spam. I didn't appreciate having attached to my post.

Isn't it obvious that CKD, weight gain, diabetes and high blood pressure, and many other conditions are all just result of bad nutrition, lifestyle and high insulin levels?
None of them really cause another. Can't they get it?
