Kidney Function as Risk Factor and Predictor of Cardiovascular Outcomes and Mortality Among Older Adults

Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and urinary albumin-creatinine ratio (UACR) are associated with cardiovascular events in the general population but their utility among older adults is unclear. We investigated the associations of eGFR and UACR with stroke, myocardial infarction (MI), and death among older adults.
