Differential cardiovascular risk profiles by sex among adults with CKD: a NHANES-based analysis

Sex-based differences in cardiovascular risk factors among individuals with CKD reveal that females have lower odds of diabetes, hypertension, low haematocrit and elevated triglycerides, but higher odds of increased waist circumference and low HDL-C compared to males. These findings highlight the need to incorporate sex-specific perspectives into CKD research and management to improve personalized care.
