About this trial
The goal of this observational study is to investigate the impact of metabolic comorbidities on outcomes in elderly Chinese adults, through two parallel sub-cohorts: one comprising elderly individuals without chronic kidney disease (CKD) at baseline, and one comprising elderly patients with established CKD.
The main questions it aims to answer are:
Do metabolic diseases (diabetes, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, hyperuricemia, calcium-phosphorus disorders) increase the risk of incident CKD, major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE), and all-cause mortality in elderly individuals without CKD at baseline? What are the optimal diagnostic thresholds and criteria for CKD in the elderly population? How do metabolic comorbidities affect long-term outcomes - including all-cause mortality, end-stage renal disease (ESRD), and cardiovascular events - in elderly patients with established CKD? What is the comorbidity profile and disease burden of elderly CKD patients in China?
Participants in both sub-cohorts will:
Undergo baseline assessments including laboratory tests and clinical evaluations.
Provide longitudinal follow-up data through scheduled clinic visits and medical record linkage.
Contribute to a large-scale cohort of 100,000 elderly participants across multiple centers in China.
Eligibility criteria
This trial accepts healthy volunteersQualifiers
None
Disqualifiers
Baseline age ≥ 65 years.
Availability of baseline data on serum creatinine and at least one urinary protein measurement.
Urinary protein measurements include: UACR, UPCR, 24-hour urine protein quantification, and urine protein dipstick test.
Baseline date requirement: Between January 1, 2010, and December 31, 2025.
Trial population
Participants will be recruited from multiple clinical and community-based settings across China, through a network of tertiary hospitals and affiliated community health centers. The study population consists of elderly adults aged 60 years and older, divided into two sub-cohorts: Sub-cohort 1: Elderly individuals without CKD at baseline, recruited from community health centers and outpatient clinics. Sub-cohort 2: Elderly patients with established CKD, recruited from participating tertiary hospitals. Participants are drawn from geographically diverse regions of China, contributing to a nationally representative sample of the elderly population with and without chronic kidney disease.

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
incident CKD
For Sub-cohort 1 in Elderly Adults without CKD at Baseline, the primary outcome is incident CKD, which is defined as glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) \< 60 ml/(min·1.73m²) or positive urine protein; or the presence of a clear ICD-10 diagnostic code for CKD in medical records.
All-cause mortality
Progression to ESRD.
