Association between microalbuminuria and cardiovascular risk factors in general population / 中华肾脏病杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the association between microalbuminuria and cardiovascular risk factors in a general Chinese population.Methods A multi-stage cluster randomized sampling method was used to select 2400 residents (18-69 years old) in four counties in Shandong and Jiangsu provinces in October 2013 to March 2014.24-hour MAU were measured for each subject.The prevalence of MAU in different groups was analyzed.The relationship between the aggregation of risk factors and MAU was analyzed.Logistic regression analysis was used to evaluate the association between MAU and cardiovascular risk factors.Results A total of 2265 subjects were included in the analysis.The prevalence of MAU was 8.96％ (203/2265,95％ CI7.82-10.21).The prevalence of MAU in obesity,hypertension,diabetes,hypertriglyceridemia,and low HDL-C group were 14.65％ (63/430),12.53％ (104/830),20.22％ (36/178),15.57％ (64/411),11.99％ (53/442) respectively,which were significantly higher than the corresponding healthy population (all P ＜ 0.01).Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that obesity,hypertension,diabetes,and hypertriglyceridemia were risk factors for MAU.The OR(95％ CI) values were 1.491(1.016-2.265),1.660(1.190-2.314),2.291 (1.494-3.515) and 1.734(1.205-2.495) respectively.With the increase in the number of influencing factors,urinary albumin levels and the prevalence of MAU all showed an upward trend.Conclusion MAU was associated with cardiovascular risk factors such as obesity,hypertension,diabetes,and hypertriglyceridemia.
