About the Data

Description of the data source, numerator, denominator, survey questions, and other relevant details about the national estimate.

Data Source:

National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey

Changed Since the Healthy People 2020 Launch:

Yes

Measure:

percent (age adjusted—see Comments)

Baseline (Year):

14.8 (2001–06)

Target:

13.3

Target-Setting Method:

10 percent improvement

Numerator:

Number of persons aged 18 years and over with chronic kidney disease stages 1-4

Denominator:

Number of persons aged 18 years and over with measured urinary albumin/creatinine ratio (ACR) and information to compute estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR)

Comparable Healthy People 2010 Objective:

Not applicable

Data Collection Frequency:

Periodic

Methodology Notes:

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) stages 1-4 defined as urinary albumin/creatinine ratio (ACR) = 30 mg/g (single measurement) or estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) between 15 and 59 ml/min/1.73 m².

The estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) was computed using the Modification of Diet in Renal Disease (MDRD) study equation.Single albumin/creatinine ratio ACR measurement was used (all measurements in mg/g).

Age Adjustment Notes:

This Indicator uses Age-Adjustment Groups:

Total: 18-44, 45-64, 65+

Veteran Status: 18-44, 45-64, 65+
Obesity Status: 20-44, 45-64, 65+

Revision History

Any change to the objective text, baseline, target, target-setting method or data source since the Healthy People 2020 launch.

Description of Changes Since the Healthy People 2020 Launch:

In 2015, the original 1999-2004 baseline of 15.1% was replaced with the 2001-2006 estimate (14.8%) to be more consistent with the baselines of other CKD objectives. The target was adjusted from 13.6% to 13.3% to reflect the revised baseline using the original target-setting method.
