Abstract Background: This study aimed to quantify the prevalence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and associated metabolic risk factors in a middle-aged and elderly population in Guishan District, Taoyuan City, Taiwan. Methods: This cross-sectional study enrolled residents aged 50-90 years living in one community. All subjects received a standardized personal interview, including a structured questionnaire, anthropometric measurements, and blood samples collected for laboratory testing. CKD was defined as the presence of kidney damage (urine albumin-creatinine ratio ≥30mg/g) or estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) <60 mL/min/1.73m 2 . Multiple logistic regression models were used to evaluate risk factors associated with CKD. Results : A total of 400 subjects were enrolled. The overall prevalence of CKD was 20.3% (95% CI: 16.36–24.24%). The age-specific prevalence of CKD in subjects aged 50-64 years, 65-74 years, and 75 years and over was 17.7%, 18.8%, and 33.9%, respectively, (p value for Cochran-Armitage trend test = 0.022). Multiple logistic regression model revealed that elevated blood pressure (OR = 2.55, 95% CI: 1.30–5.01), hyperglycemia (OR = 2.78, 95% CI: 1.59–4.88), hyperuricemia (OR = 1.36, 95% CI: 1.12–1.65) and metabolic syndrome (OR = 2.48, 95% CI: 1.40–4.40) were statistically and significantly associated with CKD. Conclusions: The prevalence of CKD in our study population is high. Hypertension, hyperglycemia, hyperuricemia and metabolic syndrome are significantly associated with CKD in a middle-aged and elderly population in Taiwan.

Background: This study aimed to quantify the proportion of participants with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and associated metabolic risk factors in a middle-aged and elderly population in Guishan District, Taoyuan City, Taiwan.Methods: This cross-sectional study enrolled residents aged 50–90 years living in one community. All participants received a standardized personal interview, including a structured questionnaire, anthropometric measurements, and blood samples collected for laboratory testing. CKD was defined as the presence of kidney damage (urine albumin-creatinine ratio ≥30 mg/g) or estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) &lt; 60 mL/min/1.73 m2. Multiple logistic regression models were used to evaluate the risk factors associated with CKD.Results: A total of 400 participants were enrolled. The overall proportion of participants with CKD was 20.5% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 16.54–24.46%). The proportions of participants with CKD among those aged 50–64, 65–74, and 75 years and over were 17.7, 18.8, and 35.7%, respectively (p = 0.01). Multiple logistic regression model revealed that elevated blood pressure (odds ratio [OR] = 2.23, 95% CI: 1.16–4.30), hyperglycemia (OR = 2.87, 95% CI: 1.64–5.00), hyperuricemia (OR = 1.38, 95% CI: 1.14–1.69), and metabolic syndrome (OR = 2.30, 95% CI: 1.31–4.06) were significantly associated with CKD.Conclusions: The prevalence of CKD in the study population was high. Hypertension, hyperglycemia, hyperuricemia, and metabolic syndrome are significantly associated with CKD in a middle-aged and elderly population in Taiwan.

Abstract Objectives Evidence suggests that omega-3 fatty acid (n-3 FA) and fish consumption may reduce the risk of the metabolic syndrome (MetS) in older adults. We previously reported that MetS components are prevalent among college students. Identifying modifiable risk factors of developing MetS and its components in young adults will inform potential targets to reduce the risk of age-related health conditions. Our objectives were to measure the cross-sectional impacts of n-3 FA and fish consumption on ≥2 or ≥3 MetS criteria and individual criteria among college students. Methods The College Health and Nutrition Assessment Survey is an on-going cross-sectional study at a public New England college. We examined data from Jan 2008 – May 2017. After excluding those with missing data our final sample size was n = 4271 for n-3 FA & n = 2072 for fish intake analyses. Diet was assessed by a 3 day food record; MetS criteria were collected in fasted state. We expressed n-3 FAs as g/1000 kcals/d. Servings of fish/week was obtained via an online survey. Individuals were categorized as consuming ≥ 2 servings/week or not. MetS was defined as meeting ≥ 3 criteria: elevated glucose, triglycerides, blood pressure, waist circumference, and low HDL. Analyses were conducted by logistic regression. Results The average n-3 FA intake was 0.4 g/1000 kcal/d ± 0.25 & 40% consumed ≥ 2 servings of fish/week. Prevalence estimates for meeting ≥ 2 criteria was 18.8% and 4.8% for MetS. In sex- and energy- adjusted models, n-3 FA consumption was inversely associated with MetS (OR = 0.38; 95%CI: 0.20, 0.71) and ≥2 MetS criteria (OR = 0.67; 95%CI: 0.49, 0.91). Associations were no longer significant after considering additional confounders. Fish consumption was not significantly associated with MetS or ≥2 criteria in any model. Further n-3 FAs and fish consumption was not associated with any individual MetS criteria. Conclusions In this cross-sectional study among college students, n-3 FA and fish consumption were not significantly associated with MetS outcomes. Further research is needed in this population using longitudinal study designs to understand long-term impact of n-3 consumption on the development of MetS and associated cardio metabolic risk factors in young adults.
