Optimism is associated with chronic kidney disease and rapid kidney function decline among African Americans in the Jackson Heart Study.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Investigate the association of dispositional optimism with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and rapid kidney function decline (RKFD) and determine if there is modification by age, sex, and educational attainment among African Americans.

Methods

Optimism was measured using the 6-item Life Orientation Test-Revised scale (categorized into tertiles and log transformed) among participants from the Jackson Heart Study (n = 1960). CKD was defined as the presence of albuminuria or reduced glomerular filtration rate of <60 mL/min/1.73m², or report of dialysis at baseline examination (2000-2004). RKFD was defined as a decline >3 mL/min/1.73m²/year between baseline and exam 3 (2009-2013). The cross-sectional and prospective associations between optimism and kidney outcomes were tested using multivariable logistic regression to obtain odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI), adjusting for demographics, education, risk factors, behaviors, and depressive symptoms. We tested effect modification by age, sex, and education.

Results

569 participants had CKD and 326 were classified as having RKFD by exam 3. After full adjustment, the OR for CKD was 0.73 for those who reported high (vs. low) optimism (95% CI 0.55-0.99) and 0.56 (95% CI 0.27-1.15) for the optimism score. After 7.21 median years of follow up, the OR for RKFD was 0.51 for those who reported high (vs. low) optimism (95% CI 0.34-0.76), and 0.26 (95% CI 0.10-0.56) for the optimism score, after full adjustment. There was no evidence of effect modification by demographics or educational attainment.

Conclusions

Higher optimism was associated with a lower odds of CKD and a lower odds of RKFD.

Project description:BackgroundRacial differences in rapid kidney function decline exist, but less is known regarding factors associated with rapid decline among African Americans. Greater understanding of potentially modifiable risk factors for early kidney function loss may help reduce the burden of kidney failure in this high-risk population.Study designProspective cohort study.Setting & participants3,653 African American participants enrolled in the Jackson Heart Study (JHS) with kidney function data from 2 of 3 examinations (2000-2004 and 2009-2013). Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) was calculated from serum creatinine using the CKD-EPI creatinine equation.PredictorsDemographics, socioeconomic status, lifestyle, and clinical risk factors for kidney failure.OutcomesRapid decline was defined as a ≥30% decline in eGFR during follow-up. We quantified the association of risk factors with rapid decline in multivariable models.MeasurementsClinical (systolic blood pressure and albuminuria [albumin-creatinine ratio]) and modifiable risk factors.ResultsMean age was 54±12 (SD) years, 37% were men, average body mass index was 31.8±7.1kg/m(2), 19% had diabetes mellitus (DM), and mean eGFR was 96.0±20mL/min/1.73m(2) with an annual rate of decline of 1.27mL/min/1.73m(2). Those with rapid decline (11.5%) were older, were more likely to be of low/middle income, and had higher systolic blood pressures and greater DM than those with nonrapid decline. Factors associated with ≥30% decline were older age (adjusted OR per 10 years older, 1.51; 95% CI, 1.34-1.71), cardiovascular disease (adjusted OR, 1.53; 95% CI, 1.12-2.10), higher systolic blood pressure (adjusted OR per 17mmHg greater, 1.22; 95% CI, 1.06-1.41), DM (adjusted OR, 2.63; 95% CI, 2.02-3.41), smoking (adjusted OR, 1.60; 95% CI, 1.10-2.31), and albumin-creatinine ratio > 30mg/g (adjusted OR, 1.55; 95% CI, 1.08-1.21). Conversely, results did not support associations of waist circumference, C-reactive protein level, and physical activity with rapid decline.LimitationsNo midstudy creatinine measurement at examination 2 (2005-2008).ConclusionsRapid decline heterogeneity exists among African Americans in JHS. Interventions targeting potentially modifiable factors may help reduce the incidence of kidney failure.

Project description:BackgroundFew investigations have evaluated the incremental usefulness of multiple biomarkers representing varying physiological pathways for predicting risk of renal outcomes in African Americans.Design, setting, participants, and measurementsWe related a multi-marker panel to incident chronic kidney disease (CKD) and rapid kidney function decline (RKFD) in 2813 Jackson Heart Study participants without prevalent CKD at exam 1 (2000-2004) and with complete assays at exam 1 for 9 biomarkers: adiponectin, aldosterone, B-natriuretic peptide [BNP], cortisol, high sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP), endothelin, homocysteine, plasma renin activity and mass. Incident CKD was defined as estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR)?<?60 mL/min/1.73 m2 at exam 3 while RKFD was defined as eGFR ?30% loss between exams 1 and 3 (8.2 median years). We employed multiple logistic regression model to describe association between the panel and incident CKD and RKFD and used backward elimination strategy to estimate the most parsimonious biomarker model while controlling for conventional risk factors.ResultsThe multi-marker panel predicted the risk for both incident CKD (odds ratios [OR], 2.72; 95% confidence intervals [CI], 1.63, 4.56; P?=?0.001) and RKFD (2.61; 95% CI, 1.67, 4.08; P?< 0.001). Per standard deviation increase in log biomarker concentrations were significantly (multivariable adjusted odds ratios, [95% confidence interval], p-value) associated with incident CKD: plasma adiponectin (1.24 [1.07, 1.44], p?=?0.005) and leptin (1.3 [1.06, 1.61], p?=?0.011), and with RKFD: plasma adiponectin (1.22 [1.06, 1.40], p?=?0.006); hsCRP (1.17 [1.01, 1.36], p?=?0.031) and aldosterone (0.85 [0.74, 0.96], p?=?0.012). Moderate levels (3rd quartile) of aldosterone were inversely associated with incident CKD (0.54 [0.35, 0.82], p?=?0.004) while leptin was associated with RKFD (1.64 [1.10, 2.44], p?=?0.015). Biomarkers improved CKD risk prediction (P?=?0.003) but not RKFD risk prediction (P?=?0.10).ConclusionIn this community-based sample of African Americans, a multi-marker panel added only moderate predictive improvement compared to conventional risk factors.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Cardiac structural abnormalities, common in African Americans, are associated with adverse clinical outcomes. Associations between echocardiography-measured subclinical heart failure and kidney function decline are unknown and may identify novel risk factors for kidney disease in this population. STUDY DESIGN:Prospective cohort study. SETTING & PARTICIPANTS:2,418 Jackson Heart Study participants with baseline echocardiograms and longitudinal measures of estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) calculated from the CKD-EPI creatinine equation. 2,219 participants had baseline eGFRs?60mL/min/1.73m2. PREDICTORS:Left ventricular mass (LVM) and ejection fraction (LVEF) and pulmonary artery systolic pressure (PASP) quantified from baseline echocardiograms. OUTCOMES:Primary outcome was >30% eGFR decline or progression to end-stage renal disease (ESRD; need for dialysis therapy) over a mean of 8 years. Secondary outcome, eGFR<60mL/min/1.73m2 or progression to ESRD and eGFR decline >1mL/min/1.73m2 per year among those with baseline eGFRs?60mL/min/1.73m2. MEASUREMENTS:Logistic regression models, adjusted for demographics, physical characteristics, comorbid conditions, and medication use. RESULTS:Mean age was 52.2±11.9 (SD) years, 37% of participants were men; mean baseline eGFR was 87.3±17.3mL/min/1.73m2. The primary and secondary outcomes occurred in 148 (6.1%) and 162 (7.1%) participants, respectively. In unadjusted models, every 25-g greater LVM was significantly associated with greater odds of eGFR decline > 30% or ESRD (OR, 1.38; 95% CI, 1.26-1.51) and incident eGFR<60mL/min/1.73m2 or ESRD (OR, 1.30; 95% CI, 1.20-1.42); only the former remained statistically significant after adjustment. There was no association of LVEF or PASP with either eGFR decline > 30% or ESRD (LVEF: adjusted OR, 0.95 [95% CI, 0.84-1.07]; PASP: adjusted OR, 0.98 [95% CI, 0.87-1.11]) or incident eGFR<60mL/min/1.73m2 or ESRD (LVEF: adjusted OR, 0.98 [95% CI, 0.86-1.11]; PASP: adjusted OR, 1.05 [95% CI, 0.94-1.18]) in multivariable models. LIMITATIONS:No midstudy creatinine measurement at examination 2. CONCLUSIONS:Greater LVM was significantly associated with eGFR decline > 30% or ESRD among African Americans in a community-based cohort. Treating and reversing elevated LVM may reduce the burden and progression of kidney disease in this high-risk population.

Project description:BackgroundThere is limited evidence on the relationship between social support and renal outcomes in African Americans. We sought to determine the association of social support with prevalent chronic kidney disease (CKD) and kidney function decline in an African American cohort. We also examined whether age modifies the association between social support and kidney function decline.MethodsWe identified Jackson Heart Study (JHS) participants with baseline (Exam in 2000-2004) functional and structural social support data via the Interpersonal Support Evaluation List (ISEL) and social network size questions, respectively. With ISEL as our primary exposure variable, we performed multivariable regression models to evaluate the association between social support and prevalent CKD [estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR)?<?60?ml/min/1.73?m2 or urine albumin-creatinine ratio (ACR) ?30?mg/g], eGFR decline, and rapid renal function decline (RRFD) (>?30% decrease in eGFR over approximately 10?years). All models were adjusted for baseline sociodemographics, diabetes, hypertension, smoking status, and body mass index; models for eGFR decline and RRFD were additionally adjusted for eGFR and ACR. In models for eGFR decline, we assessed for interaction between age and social support. For secondary analyses, we replaced ISEL with its individual domains (appraisal, belonging, self-esteem, and tangible) and social network size in separate models as exposure variables.ResultsOf 5301 JHS participants, 4015 (76%) completed the ISEL at baseline. 843 (21%) had low functional social support (ISEL score?<?32). Participants with low (vs. higher) functional social support were more likely to have lower income (47% vs. 28%), be current or former tobacco users (39% vs. 30%), have diabetes (25% vs. 21%) or CKD (14% vs. 12%). After multivariable adjustment, neither ISEL or social network size were independently associated with prevalent CKD, eGFR decline, or RRFD. Of the ISEL domains, only higher self-esteem was associated with lower odds of prevalent CKD [OR 0.94 (95% CI 0.89-0.99)]. The associations between social support measures and eGFR decline were not modified by age.ConclusionsIn this African-American cohort, social support was not associated with prevalent CKD or kidney function decline. Further inquiry of self-esteem's role in CKD self-management and renal outcomes is warranted.

Project description:BackgroundAfrican Americans and patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) are at high risk for clinical heart failure (HF). In this study, we aimed to determine the association of markers of kidney disease with subclinical HF (by echocardiogram) and risk of clinical HF among a large, well-characterized community-based cohort of African American patients. We also examined whether the association of markers of kidney disease with HF was attenuated with adjustment for echocardiographic measures.MethodsWe studied participants in the Jackson Heart Study, a large community-based cohort of African Americans. Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and urine albumin:creatinine ratio (ACR) were measured at baseline. We tested the association of eGFR and urine ACR with left ventricular mass (LVM), left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and physician-adjudicated incident HF.ResultsAmong the 3332 participants in the study, 166 (5%) had eGFR <60 mL/min/1.73 m2 and 405 (12%) had urine ACR ?30 mg/g. In models adjusted for demographics, comorbidity and the alternative measure of kidney disease, lower eGFR and higher urine ACR were associated with higher LVM {?-coefficient 1.54 [95% confidence interval (CI) 0.78-2.31] per 10 mL/min/1.73 m2 decrease in eGFR and 2.87 (95% CI 1.85-3.88) per doubling of urine ACR}. There was no association of eGFR and urine ACR with LVEF [?-coefficient -0.12 (95% CI -0.28-0.04) and -0.11 (95% CI -0.35-0.12), respectively]. There was no association of eGFR with the risk of incident HF [HR 1.02 (95% CI 0.91-1.14) per 10 mL/min/1.73 m2 decrease], while there was a significant association of urine ACR [HR 2.22 (95% CI 1.29-3.84) per doubling of urine ACR]. This association was only modestly attenuated with adjustment for LVM [HR 1.95 (95% CI 1.09-3.49)].ConclusionsAmong a community-based cohort of African Americans, lower eGFR and higher ACR were associated with higher LVM. Furthermore, higher urine ACR was associated with incident HF, which was not entirely explained by the presence of left ventricular disease.

Project description:RationaleAlthough chronic obstructive pulmonary disease has been related to heart failure, the relationship between the restrictive spirometry pattern (forced vital capacity [FVC] < 80% predicted with preserved forced expiratory volume in 1 second [FEV1]/FVC ratio) and heart failure is poorly understood.ObjectivesTo determine whether having a restrictive spirometry pattern is associated with incident heart failure hospitalization.MethodsCommunity-dwelling African Americans from the Jackson Heart Study (total n = 5,306; analyzed n = 4,210 with spirometry and heart failure outcome data) were grouped by restrictive spirometry (FEV1/FVC ≥ 0.70, FVC < 80%; n = 840), airflow obstruction (FEV1/FVC < 0.70; n = 341), and normal spirometry (FEV1/FVC ≥ 0.70, FVC ≥ 80%; n = 3,029) at the time of baseline examination in 2000-2004. We assessed relationships of echocardiographic parameters and biomarkers with spirometry patterns using regression models. Incident heart failure was defined as an adjudicated hospitalization for heart failure after January 1, 2005 in subjects with no self-reported heart failure history. We used multivariable-adjusted Poisson regression models and Cox proportional hazards models, with death treated as a competing risk in the Cox models, to test associations between spirometry patterns and incident heart failure. We also modeled the association of FVC% predicted with heart failure hospitalization risk using a restricted cubic spline after excluding subjects with airflow obstruction.ResultsAt the time of baseline spirometry, participants with restrictive spirometry had a median age of 57.2 years (interquartile range, 47.8-64.1); 38.1% were male. Compared with normal spirometry, restrictive spirometry was associated with a higher transmitral early (E) wave velocity to atrial (A) wave velocity ratio, higher pulmonary artery systolic pressure, and higher endothelin levels. After a median follow-up time of 8.0 years, 8.0% of subjects with restrictive spirometry (n = 67) had developed incident heart failure, compared with 3.8% of those with normal spirometry (n = 115) and 10.6% of those with airflow obstruction (n = 36). After risk adjustment, both a restrictive pattern (hazard ratio [HR], 1.5; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.1-2.0) and airflow obstruction (HR, 1.7; 95% CI, 1.1-2.5) were associated with increased rates of incident heart failure hospitalization compared with normal spirometry. Using flexible modeling, the lowest hazards of heart failure hospitalization were observed around FVC 90-100%, with lower FVC% values associated with an increased incidence of heart failure.ConclusionsBoth a restrictive pattern on spirometry and airflow obstruction identify African Americans with impaired lung health at risk for heart failure.
