Key Points and Explanation:
Females (15.93%) had higher prevalence of CKD than males (13.52%), with adjustment for age. After age adjustment, non-Hispanic blacks (17.01%) and Mexican-Americans (15.29%) had higher crude prevalence than non-Hispanic whites (13.99%). Those with diabetes and hypertension had far greater age-adjusted prevalence of CKD than those without these conditions.
Chart Explanation: Overall, the prevalence estimates using a single assessment of albuminuria (rather than estimation of the persistence of albuminuria) were, by design, higher than those using estimated persistence, but patterns among subgroups were similar to those using this estimation. Even with age adjustment, prevalence was higher in females than in males. However, the pattern for race/ethnicity was reversed: non-Hispanic whites, 15%; non-Hispanic blacks, 19%; and Mexican-Americans, 19%. Those with diabetes and hypertension had higher prevalence of CKD than those without these conditions, as expected, even with adjustment for age. All comparisons within subgroup were statistically significantly different (P<0.001), with age adjustment.
