The impact of household air pollution from solid fuel use on rapid decline in kidney function and chronic kidney disease: A nationwide longitudinal cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The study investigates the link between indoor air pollution from non-clean fuels and kidney function decline, particularly in middle-aged and elderly individuals in China.

Method

This prospective cohort study included 4,207 participants, with kidney function assessed through eGFR (using serum creatinine and cystatin C). Logistic regression models were used to examine the link between household solid fuel use and the risk of rapid kidney decline and CKD. Sensitivity analyses were also conducted using eGFR estimates based on creatinine or cystatin C alone.

Results

Trend regression revealed that more frequent solid fuel use was associated with higher risks of both rapid kidney decline and CKD. Using solid fuels only for cooking was associated with a higher ri
