AI Article Synopsis

  • Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is becoming a significant global health concern, particularly in less-developed regions, and this study aims to assess its prevalence and risk factors in Northwestern China.
  • A cross-sectional survey conducted from 2011 to 2013 involved 41,222 participants, with findings showing a CKD prevalence of 4.34%, higher in males (4.78%) than females (3.68%).
  • Risk factors linked to CKD included older age, lifestyle choices (like drinking and lack of exercise), obesity, being unmarried, and conditions such as diabetes and hypertension.

Article Abstract

Aim: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is increasingly recognized as a global health issue. There is a paucity of published data on the prevalence and risk factors of CKD in less-developed regions. This study aims to evaluate and update the prevalence and risk factors of CKD in a city of Northwestern China.

Methods: Based on a prospective cohort study, a cross-sectional baseline survey was conducted between 2011 and 2013. The data on the epidemiology interview, physical examination, and clinical laboratory test were all collected. In this study, 41,222 participants were selected from 48,001 workers in the baseline after excluding objects with incomplete information. The crude and standardized prevalence of CKD were calculated. An unconditional logistic regression model was used to analyze the risk factors associated with CKD among male and female.

Results: One thousand seven hundred eighty-eight people were diagnosed with CKD, including 1180 males and 608 females. The crude prevalence of CKD was 4.34% (4.78% males and 3.68% females). The standardized prevalence was 4.06% (4.51% males and 3.60% females). The prevalence of CKD increased with age and was higher in males than in females. In multivariable logistic regression, CKD was significantly associated with the increasing age, drinking, never or occasionally exercise, overweight or obesity, being unmarried, diabetes, hyperuricemia, dyslipidemia and hypertension.

Conclusion: In this study, the prevalence of CKD was lower than that of the national cross-sectional study. Lifestyle, hypertension, diabetes, hyperuricemia and dyslipidemia were the main risk factors of CKD. The prevalence and risk factors differ between male and female.
