Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To examine the association between income level and incident chronic kidney disease (CKD) in adults with normal baseline kidney function. PATIENT AND METHODS: We studied the association between income level categorized into deciles and incident CKD in a national cohort comprised of 7,405,715 adults who underwent National Health Insurance Service health examinations during January 1, 2009, to December 31, 2015, with baseline estimated glomerular filtration rates (eGFRs) ≥60 mL/min/1.73 m2. Incident CKD was defined as de novo development of eGFR <60 mL/min/1.73 m2 (model 1) or ≥25% decline in eGFR from baseline values accompanied by eGFR <60 mL/min/1.73 m2 (model 2). RESULTS: During a median follow-up of 4.8 years, there were 122,032 of 7,405,715 (1.65%) and 55,779 of 7,405,715 (0.75%) incident CKD events based on model 1 and 2 definitions, respectively. Compared with income levels in the sixth decile, there was an inverse association between lower income level and higher risk for CKD up to the fourth decile, above which no additional reduction (model 1) or slightly higher risk for CKD (model 2) was observed at higher income levels. The multivariable-adjusted hazard ratios from the lowest to fourth deciles were 1.30 (95% CI, 1.26-1.33), 1.16 (95% CI, 1.13-1.19), 1.07 (95% CI, 1.05-1.10), and 1.06 (95% CI, 1.03-1.09) in model 1 and 1.32 (95% CI, 1.27-1.37), 1.18 (95% CI, 1.14-1.22), 1.08 (95% CI, 1.04-1.13), and 1.05 (95% CI, 1.01-1.09) in model 2, respectively. These associations persisted across various subgroups of age, sex, and comorbidity status. CONCLUSION: In this large nationwide cohort, lower income levels were associated with higher risk for incident CKD.
