Socioeconomic status, depressive symptoms and cardiometabolic kidney syndrome: an analysis based on national representative data.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Cardiometabolic Kidney Syndrome (CKM) is a global chronic disease challenge. While links between socioeconomic status (SES) and individual CKM components exist, research often overlooks CKM's multi-system interactions and the role of psychosocial factors.

Methods
