Article Synopsis
- Chronic kidney disease (CKD) affects a significant portion of the population and is linked to cardiovascular issues like heart failure and ACVD, requiring analysis of its prevalence and related risk factors.
- A study involving over 6,500 participants aged 18 to 102 revealed a crude CKD prevalence of approximately 11.5%, with a slightly lower adjusted rate of 9.2%, and highlighted that factors like hypertension and diabetes are significantly associated with CKD.
- The findings indicated that a majority (77.5%) of CKD patients face very high cardiovascular risk, emphasizing the need for awareness and management of linked health conditions.
Introduction: Prediabetes is a major public health problem. The aims of the SIMETAP-PRED study were to determine the prevalence rates of prediabetes according to two diagnostic criteria, and to compare the association of cardiometabolic and renal risk factors between populations with and without prediabetes.
Methods: Cross-sectional observational study conducted in Primary Care.
Aim: To determine the crude and sex- and age-adjusted prevalence rates of atherogenic dyslipidemia (AD) and low HDL-cholesterol levels (low-HDLc), and to assess their associations with cardiovascular risk factors, chronic kidney disease, cardiovascular and cardiometabolic diseases.
Methods: Population-based cross-sectional study conducted in Primary Care, with randomly selected adult subjects. The AD was considered if the patients had hypertriglyceridemia (triglycerides≥150mg/dL) and low-HDLc (<40mg/dL [men];<50mg/dL [women]).
