Rationale & objective

Previous studies have shown chronic kidney disease (CKD) mortality rates to be lower among females than males. We aimed to examine the extent to which sex differences vary over time, among countries, and with age, using Global Burden of Disease (GBD) Study data.

Study design

Observational epidemiological study.

Exposures
