LinkedInTLDR
- People with chronic kidney disease, Type 2 diabetes, or both have elevated cardiovascular disease risk 8 to 28 years sooner.
- Researchers used risk profiles to simulate CVD risk at each age from 30 to 79 years based on data from NHANES 2011-2020.
- Identifying those at greater CVD risk earlier can improve primary prevention and reduce the risk of premature death from CVD.
- Adults with both Type 2 diabetes and chronic kidney disease have a 10-year risk of CVD elevated at age 35 for men and 42 for women.
Impact - Why it Matters
This news matters as it highlights the importance of early risk identification and intervention for cardiovascular disease in individuals with chronic kidney disease and Type 2 diabetes. The study's findings underscore the need for targeted prevention strategies to reduce the impact of CKM syndrome and improve overall cardiovascular health.
Summary
A new study presented at the American Heart Association’s Scientific Sessions 2024 reveals that individuals with chronic kidney disease, Type 2 diabetes, or both are at elevated risk for cardiovascular disease (CVD) 8 to 28 years earlier than those without these conditions. The research estimates the impact of cardiovascular-kidney-metabolic (CKM) syndrome on CVD risk prediction, emphasizing the need for early identification and prevention of CVD in high-risk populations.
