Cardiovascular Risk Factors in CKD Associate with Both ESRD and Mortality

The American Heart Association's Life's Simple 7 initiative allows individuals to assess health factors (BP, cholesterol, and glucose) and health behaviors (cigarette smoking, physical activity, diet, and body mass index) to promote improved cardiovascular health. Because several cardiovas...

Description
Summary:The American Heart Association's Life's Simple 7 initiative allows individuals to assess health factors (BP, cholesterol, and glucose) and health behaviors (cigarette smoking, physical activity, diet, and body mass index) to promote improved cardiovascular health. Because several cardiovascular risk factors also associate with progressive kidney disease, Life's Simple 7 may also inform an individual's risk for ESRD. Here, we investigated the association of Life's Simple 7 components with both ESRD incidence and all-cause mortality among 3093 participants with an estimated GFR (eGFR)
