Aim: To assess: 1) the incidence and prevalence of chronic kidney disease (CKD), 2) risk factors for incident CKD in a contemporary New South Wales population-based cohort of adults aged 45 and older.
Background: The AUSDIAB study found an incidence rate of CKD (eGFR<60ml/min/1.73m2) of 0.4 per 100 person-years in the adult Australian community aged ≥25 years.
Methods: Based on data from the EXTEND45 study (the 45 and Up Study linked to [1]hospital and community pathology datasets by the Centre for Health Record Linkage[CHeReL] and [2]the Medicare Benefits Schedule[MBS] and Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme[PBS] datasets provided by the Department of Human Services), we identified a population-based cohort (2006-2014) of 41,099 people aged ≥45 years who had ≥2 measures of kidney function. Prevalent CKD (defined as eGFR <60 ml/min/1.73m2) was determined at study recruitment. The CKD incidence rate over the study period was determined using Poisson regression. Cox regression was used to determine associations between baseline sociodemographic factors, comorbidities and future incident CKD.
Results: Of 41,099 participants, 7,641(18.6%) had prevalent CKD and 5,481 developed incident CKD over a mean follow-up of 5.6 years. The incidence rate of CKD was 3.2(95% CI:3.1-3.3) per 100 person-years. Baseline characteristics: age (per year increase; HR: 1.08[1.07-1.08]), regional residence (inner regional vs city: 1.26[1.18-1.36]), diabetes (1.28[1.19-1.38]), hypertension (1.58[1.48-1.70]), heart disease (1.22[1.14-1.31]), stroke (1.16[1.03-1.29]), depression (1.25[1.15-1.35]) and higher BMI (obese vs normal: 1.38[1.27-1.49]) were predictive of incident CKD. Alcohol consumption (7-13 vs 0-6 drinks/week 0.89[0.82-0.97]) was associated with a lower risk of incident CKD.
Conclusions: Baseline depression and regional residence predicted future incident CKD in conjunction with established risk factors of age, diabetes, hypertension, high BMI and vascular disease.
