 This study found that chronic kidney disease, CKD, and cardiovascular risk factors, CVRFs, are strongly associated in Nigerian communities. The prevalence of CKD increased with the number of CVRFs present, suggesting that individuals with multiple CVRFs should be screened for CKD or vice versa. Additionally, reduced kidney function and pro-myria significantly clustered with CVRFs, indicating that these conditions should be considered for prompt management of their CVRFs.
