International audience. Bone marrow adipose tissue (BMAT) is associated with aging, osteoporosis, and chronic kidney disease (CKD). To date, the association between BMAT and kidney function in postmenopausal women has not been thoroughly investigated. The main purpose of this study was to determine whether a relationship exists between proton density fat fraction (PDFF) and kidney function in postmenopausal women. Methods: We investigated the cross-sectional association between estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR)calculated using the Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration (CKD-EPI) equationand PDFFmeasured at the lumbar spine and proximal femur using Water Fat Imaging (WFI) MRIin 199 postmenopausal women from the ADIMOS cohort study. We also performed DXA scans and laboratory measurements of sclerostin and c-terminal Fibroblast Growth Factor 23 (cFGF23). Results: Participants' mean age was 67.5 (standard deviation, SD 10.0) years. Their median eGFR was 85.0 (interquartile range, IQR 72.2-95.0) ml/min/1.73 cm 2 , and their mean lumbar spine PDFF was 57.9 % (SD 9.6). When classified by eGFR-based CKD stages, 41.7 % of the cohort had an eGFR ≥ 90 (n = 83), 47.2 % had an eGFR of 60-89.9 (n = 94), and 11.1 % had an eGFR of 30-59.9 (n = 22). Participants with eGFR ≥ 90 had a lower lumbar spine PDFF than those with eGFR 60-89.9 (mean 55.8 % (9.8) vs. 58.9 % (9.0), p = 0.031) and those with eGFR 30-59.9 (55.8 % (9.8) vs. 60.8 % (9.8), p = 0.043). However, the differences did not remain significant after adjusting for predetermined confounders, including age, diabetes, Charlson comorbidity index, recent history of fragility fracture, appendicular lean mass, and lumbar spine BMD. The inclusion of sclerostin and/or cFGF23 as suspected mediators did not alter the findings. When proximal hip imaging-based PDFF was considered, no significant differences were found between the eGFR categories in the unadjusted and adjusted analyses. Conclusion: No evidence of an association between kidney function and bone marrow adiposity was found either in the lumbar spine or proximal femur in a cohort of postmenopausal women.
