Mild-to-moderate chronic kidney disease and geriatric outcomes: Analysis of cross-sectional data from the Berlin Aging Study II
Gerontology Dec 02, 2017
Konig M, et al. - A cross-sectional analysis was performed to investigate associations between mild-to-moderate chronic kidney disease (CKD and impairments in the core domains of geriatric assessment (GA) in a large cohort of community-dwelling older adults. Impairments were identified in 21% vs 15.9% of older adults with and without mild-to-moderate CKD, respectively, through GA. However, the authors did not find independent associations between mild-to-moderate CKD and geriatric conditions, except for an increased likelihood of impaired gait performance (TUG) with mild-to-moderate CKD.
