Figure 1:
Age-adjusted risk factor contribution to prevalent CKD in women and men across ethnic groups. Population attributable fraction in % per subgroup depicted. CKD prevalence in percentages (y-axis), across ethnic groups by sex (x-axis), adjusted for age, split between risk factor related (blue) and risk factor unrelated (red) CKD prevalence. Blue and red summed depict the age adjusted CKD prevalence per group. No PAFs were calculated for smoking status due to negative prevalence ratio estimates.
