Social Determinants of Cardiovascular Health in African American Children With CKD: An Analysis of the Chronic Kidney Disease in Children (CKiD) Study.

ABSTRACT:

Rationale & objective

To identify differences in socioeconomic factors (SES) and subclinical cardiovascular disease (CVD) markers by race among Chronic Kidney Disease in Children (CKiD) participants and determine whether differences in CVD markers persist after adjusting for SES.

Study design

Analysis of 3,103 visits with repeated measures from 628 children (497 White participants; 131 African American participants) enrolled in the CKiD study.

Setting & participants

Children with mild-moderate CKD with at least 1 cardiovascular (CV) parameter (ambulatory blood pressure, left ventricular mass index [LVMI], or lipid profile) measured.
