Comparison of distribution of estimated glomerular filtration rate (GFR) and chronic kidney disease (CKD) prevalence by sex, age, and race (NHANES 1999–2006, N=16,032). Upper panel: distribution of estimated GFR by 4-mL/min/1.73 m2 categories. Values are plotted at the mid point. Lower panel: prevalence of CKD by sex, race, and age. Abbreviation: NHANES, National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. Reprinted with permission.
