Cross-sectional study of household solid fuel use and renal function in older adults in China.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Emerging evidence links outdoor air pollution and declined renal function but the relationship between household air pollution and renal function is not well understood.

Methods

Using cross-sectional data from the multi-provincial INTERMAP-China Prospective Study, we collected blood samples and questionnaire information on stove use and socio-demographic factors. We calculated estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) from serum creatinine to assess renal function. Participants with eGFR <60 mL/min per 1.73 m² were defined as having chronic kidney disease (CKD) in this analysis. Generalized estimating equations were used to estimate the association of household fuel with renal function and prevalent CKD in models adjusting for confounders.
