Description
Summary:It is known that the common physiological denominator of the ageing process is an attenuation of functional performance with respect to the situation of young people and adults. However, since the first cohort-based longitudinal studies, it has not been possible to establish a “linear” relationship between age and glomerular filtration in all cases. This does not mean that there is no physiological ageing process at all; in addition to those already elucidated, its mechanisms include cell senescence, podocyte dysfunction, a vitamin D deficiency, and homozygotic forms of the MYH9 gene. The aim of the present work was to analyse the prevalence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and, where possible, the correlation between CKD, defined by an eGFR
