Population-based comparison of chronic kidney disease prevalence and risk factors among adults living in the Punjab, Northern India and the USA (2013-2015).

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

India is witnessing a disturbing growth in non-communicable diseases (NCDs), including chronic kidney disease (CKD). Recently, a WHO STEPS survey was conducted in the state of Punjab, India to collect data from the adult population on NCD risk factors. We sought to compare the prevalence of CKD and its risk factors between this large state in northern India and the USA.

Setting

Samples were drawn from both locations, Punjab, India and the USA, using multistage stratified sampling designs to collect data representative of the general population.

Participants

Data from 2002 participants in the Punjab survey (2014-2015) and 5057 in the USA (National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES; 2013-2014), between the ages of 18-69 years were examined.
