Abstract

During a median follow-up of 12.5 years, 8,857 participants (3.1%) developed new-onset (CKD).

  • Moderate cardiovascular health (CVH) scores (50 ≤ < 80) are associated with a 50% lower risk of new-onset CKD compared to low scores (LE8 < 50).
  • High CVH scores (LE8 ≥ 80) are associated with a 69% lower risk of new-onset CKD compared to low scores.
  • The population-attributable risk for new-onset CKD associated with high CVH scores is 40.3%.
  • Participants with low socioeconomic deprivation have a 25% lower risk of developing new-onset CKD compared to those with high deprivation.
  • Those with low genetic risk of CKD have an 11% lower risk compared to individuals with high genetic risk.
  • Socioeconomic deprivation and genetic risks do not significantly modify the relationship between LE8 scores and new-onset CKD.
