Frail hypertensive older adults with prediabetes and chronic kidney disease: insights on organ damage and cognitive performance - preliminary results from the CARYATID study. Cardiovasc Diabetol 2024; 23:125.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hypertension and chronic kidney disease (CKD) pose significant public health challenges, sharing intertwined pathophysiological mechanisms. Prediabetes is recognized as a precursor to diabetes and is often accompanied by cardiovascular comorbidities such as hypertension, elevating the risk of pre-frailty and frailty. Albuminuria is a hallmark of organ damage in hypertension amplifying the risk of pre-frailty, frailty, and cognitive decline in older adults. We explored the association between albuminuria and cognitive impairment in frail older adults with prediabetes and CKD, assessing cognitive levels based on estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR). METHODS We conducted a study involving consecutive frail older patients with hypertension recruited from March 2021 to March 2023 at the ASL (local health unit of the Italian Ministry of Health) of Avellino, Italy, followed up after three months. Inclusion criteria comprised age over 65 years, prior diagnosis of hypertension without secondary causes, prediabetes, frailty status, Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) score < 26, and CKD with eGFR > 15 ml/min. RESULTS 237 patients completed the study. We examined the association between albuminuria and MoCA Score, revealing a significant inverse correlation (r: 0.8846; p < 0.0001). Subsequently, we compared MoCA Score based on eGFR, observing a significant difference (p < 0.0001). These findings were further supported by a multivariable regression analysis, with albuminuria as the dependent variable. CONCLUSIONS Our study represents the pioneering effort to establish a significant correlation between albuminuria and eGFR with cognitive function in frail hypertensive older adults afflicted with prediabetes and CKD.

Mielke N, Schneider A, Barghouth MH, Ebert N, van der Giet M, Huscher D, Kuhlmann MK, Schaeffner E. Association of kidney function and albuminuria with frailty worsening and death in very old adults. Age Ageing 2023; 52:7165262. [PMID: 37192504 DOI: 10.1093/ageing/afad063] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/10/2022] [Indexed: 05/18/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Studies analysing the association of albuminuria and prevalent frailty in community-dwelling very old adults are scarce and lack information on incident frailty. We investigated the association of kidney function decline and increase of albuminuria with frailty worsening or death in very old adults. DESIGN Longitudinal analyses with biennial visits of the Berlin Initiative (cohort) Study and a frailty follow-up of 2.1 years. SETTING/SUBJECTS 1,076 participants with a mean age of 84.3 (5.6) years of whom 54% were female. METHODS Partial proportional odds models were used to assess the association of estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) decline and/or albuminuria (albumin creatinine ratio, ACR) with frailty worsening or death. RESULTS At frailty baseline, 1,076 participants with an eGFR of 50 (13) ml/min/1.73 m2, 48% being prefrail and 31% frail were included. After median 2.1 years, 960 (90%) participants had valid information on frailty transition: 187 (17.5%) worsened and 111 (10.3%) died. In the multivariable model, the odds of frailty worsening for participants with albuminuria in combination with eGFR <60 ml/min/1.73 m2 were elevated [OR (95% CI): 2.47 (1.41-4.31)] compared to participants without albuminuria and eGFR ≥60 ml/min/1.73 m2 as there was a rapid eGFR decline of ≥3 ml/min/1.73 m2 per year [1.55 (1.04-2.33)] and albuminuria trajectories six years prior [1.53 (1.11-2.10)] to frailty baseline. The odds of death for each exposure were even higher. CONCLUSIONS In older adults, advanced stages of CKD and albuminuria alone were associated with 2-fold odds of frailty worsening independent of death.

Abstract
Aims The negative effect of obesity on kidney health has been reported. The association between weight-adjusted-waist index (WWI, a newly developed adiposity index) and albuminuria has not been reported earlier. Methods This cross-sectional study was conducted among adults with complete data about WWI and urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio (ACR) in 2005–2018 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES). WWI was calculated as waist circumference (WC) divided by the square root of weight. Weighted multivariable logistic regression and generalized additive model were employed to explore the independent relationship between WWI with albuminuria and its non-linearity. A two-piecewise linear regression model was used to calculate the threshold effect. Subgroup analysis and interaction tests were also performed. Results A total of 36,921 participants were enrolled with a prevalence of albuminuria of 9.32%. The prevalence of albuminuria increased with the higher WWI tertiles (Tertile 1: 5.31%, Tertile 2: 8.23%, Tertile 3: 15.65%). WWI was positively associated with a higher likelihood of albuminuria (OR = 1.28, 95% CI: 1.15–1.43), and this relationship remains stable in subgroups (all P for trend > 0.05). Non-linear positive relationships were detected in females with a breakpoint of 10.93. A positive association between WWI and albuminuria (OR = 1.39, 95% CI: 1.20–1.61) was observed on the right of the breakpoint, while the association on the left was of no statistical significance. WWI showed a stronger correlation with albuminuria (OR = 1.28) than other markers of obesity including body mass index (BMI, OR = 1.02) and WC (OR = 1.01). Conclusion Weight-adjusted-waist index levels were positively related to an increased likelihood of albuminuria in United States adults and showed a stronger relationship than BMI and WC. Our findings indicated that WWI may serve as a simple anthropometric index to predict albuminuria.

The relevance of geriatric assessments on the association between chronic kidney disease stages and mortality among older people: a secondary analysis of a multicentre cohort study. Age Ageing 2022; 51:6649127.

Abstract
Background age-adapted definition of chronic kidney disease (CKD) does not take individual risk factors into account. We aimed at investigating whether functional impairments influence CKD stage at which mortality increases among older people. Methods our series consisted of 2,372 outpatients aged 75 years or more enrolled in a multicentre international prospective cohort study. The study outcome was 24-month mortality. Kidney function was assessed by estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and albumin-to-creatinine ratio (ACR). Geriatric assessments included handgrip strength, short physical performance battery (SPPB), cognitive impairment, dependency in basic activities of daily living (BADL) and risk of malnutrition. Analysis was carried out by Cox regression, before and after stratification by individual functional impairments. Survival trees including kidney function and functional impairments were also investigated, and their predictivity assessed by C-index. Results overall, mortality was found to increase starting from eGFR = 30–44.9 ml/min/1.73 m2 (hazard ratio [HR] = 3.28, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.81–5.95) to ACR = 30–300 mg/g (HR = 1.96, 95%CI = 1.23–3.10). However, in survival trees, an increased risk of mortality was observed among patients with impaired handgrip and eGFR = 45–59.9 ml/min/1.73 m2, as well as patients with ACR < 30 mg/g and impaired handgrip and SPPB. Survival tree leaf node membership had greater predictive accuracy (C-index = 0.81, 95%CI = 0.78–0.84 for the eGFR survival tree and C-index = 0.77, 95%CI = 0.71–0.81 for the ACR survival tree) in comparison with that of individual measures of kidney function. Conclusions physical performance helps to identify a proportion of patients at an increased risk of mortality despite a mild–moderate impairment in kidney function and improves predictive accuracy of individual measures of kidney function.

Abstract
Frailty is a commonly occurring geriatric condition that increases the risk of adverse health outcomes. The factors and predictors behind frailty are not yet well understood. A better understanding of these factors can enable prevention of frailty in elderly patients. The objective of this study was to determine the association between proteinuria and frailty in US individuals with metabolic syndrome (MetS). Data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey III (NHANES III, 1988–1994) conducted by the National Center for Health Statistics of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. This is a cross-sectional study, and proteinuria and frailty were measured only once at enrollment. The study included 2,272 participants with MetS aged 40–90 years from the NHANES III. The participants underwent assessments to evaluate frailty and frailty components (low body weight, weakness, exhaustion, low physical activity, and slow walking). Proteinuria was represented as albumin-to-creatinine ratio (ACR) (mg/g) and divided into tertiles: T1-normal range (ACR <30 mg/g), T2-microalbuminuria (ACR 30–299 mg/g), and T3-macroalbuminuria (ACR ≥ 300 mg/g). We applied multiple logistic regression to determine the odds ratios (ORs) of frailty for T2 vs. T1 and T3 vs. T1 in both sexes. In the adjusted analysis for male participants, the ORs of frailty for T2 and T3 vs. T1 were 3.106 (95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.078–8.948, P = 0.036) and 14.428 (95% CI = 4.231–49.193, P < 0.001), respectively. For female participants, the ORs of frailty for T2 and T3 vs. T1 were 1.811 (95% CI = 1.071–3.063, P = 0.027) and 2.926 (95% CI = 1.202–7.124, P = 0.018), respectively. The positive association between T2 and T3 vs. T1, and frailty were statistically significant. The trends of higher likelihood of every frailty component were also statistically significant across increasing tertiles of proteinuria after multiple levels of adjustment for covariates (P < 0.05). Increased proteinuria levels were positively associated with frailty and each frailty component. Proteinuria might be a useful maker for frailty in individuals with MetS.

Clin Kidney J 2022; 15:1093-1099. [PMID: 35664283 PMCID: PMC9155239 DOI: 10.1093/ckj/sfac002] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/02/2021] [Indexed: 11/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Background The longitudinal relationship of albuminuria with incident frailty remains unknown. Therefore we aimed to evaluate the relation of albuminuria with the risk of incident frailty in older adults. Methods A total of 1115 participants ≥65 years of age (average age 80.3 years) who were free of frailty in the Chinese Longitudinal Healthy Longevity Survey were included. The outcome was incident frailty, defined as a frailty index ≥0.25 during follow-up. Cox proportional hazards models were used to assess the association of the urinary albumin:creatinine ratio (UACR) with frailty. Results During a median follow-up duration of 5.3 years, 295 (26.5%) participants developed incident frailty. Overall, the UACR was significantly positively associated with the risk of incident frailty (P for trend = 0.005), with a significantly higher risk of incident frailty in participants in the quartile 4 of UACR {≥13.43 mg/g; hazard ratio [HR] 1.64 [95% confidence interval (CI) 1.13–2.37]} compared with those in quartile 1 (<0.73 mg/g). Consistently, when UACRs were assessed as clinical categories, compared with participants with UACR <10 mg/g, those with UACR ≥30 mg/g had a higher HR of incident frailty [HR 1.61 (95% CI 1.17–2.20)]. Accounting for the competing risk of death also did not substantially change the results. In addition, a stronger positive association between UACR and incident frailty was found in those with a higher high-sensitivity C-reactive protein level (hs-CRP) (P for interaction = 0.045). Conclusion Albuminuria was positively associated with the risk of incident frailty, particularly in those with higher hs-CRP, emphasizing the importance of managing both albuminuria and inflammation for primary prevention of frailty.
