Diabetes, Kidney Disease, and Cardiovascular Outcomes in the Jackson Heart Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background and objectives

Blacks have high rates of cardiovascular disease and mortality. Diabetes and CKD, risk factors for cardiovascular mortality in the general population, are common among blacks. We sought to assess their contribution to cardiovascular disease and mortality in blacks.

Design, setting, participants, & measurements

This observational cohort study was of 3211 participants in the Jackson Heart Study (enrolled 2000-2004). Rates of incident stroke, incident coronary heart disease, and cardiovascular mortality were quantified in participants with diabetes, CKD (eGFR<60 ml/min per 1.73 m(2), urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio ≥30 mg/g, or both), or both through 2012, with a median follow-up of 6.99 years.
