Background
Reduced estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) has been shown to be related to impaired physical function. However, data on the other chronic kidney disease (CKD) measure, albuminuria, in this context are sparse. Furthermore, whether cognitive function modifies these associations is unknown.
Methods
Among 4,608 community-dwelling older adults at ARIC visit 5 (2011-2013), we studied cross-sectional associations of eGFR with cystatin C (eGFRcys) and urine albumin-creatinine ratio (ACR) with physical function based on the Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB). Cognitive function was classified as no cognitive impairment, mild cognitive impairment (MCI), or dementia according to a diagnostic review of neuropsychiatric, neurologic, and brain imaging assessments.
Results
Mean age of participants was 75.7 (SD 5.1) years, and median SPPB was 10 (IQR 8-11), with 13.8% (n=636) having impaired physical function (defined as SPPB score <6). Adjusted for potential confounders, the odds ratio of having impaired physical function was 1.98 (95%CI 1.21-3.24) in GFR <45 ml/min/1.73m2, 1.42 (0.88-2.30) in GFR 45-59, and 0.98 (0.61-1.57) in GFR 60-89, compared to GFR ≥90 (Table). Similarly, the odds ratio was 1.92 (95%CI 1.20-3.05) in ACR ≥300 mg/g and 1.71 (1.38-2.14) in ACR 30-299, compared to ACR <30. When stratified by cognitive function (n=3,449 with normal and 1,159 with MCI/dementia), of the associations of eGFF and ACR with impaired physical function were stronger in normal cognition than in MCI/dementia (Table).
Conclusion
Both high albuminuria and low eGFR were independently associated with impaired physical function, with more evident results when cognition was preserved.
Adjusted odds ratios (95% CIs) of impaired physical function according to CKD measures.
