Prevalence and Overlap of Cardiac, Renal, and Metabolic Conditions in US Adults, 1999-2020
Key result
Report details analytic guidelines for evaluating cardiac, renal, and metabolic condition prevalence using NHANES data.
Why the study?
Cardiac, renal, and metabolic conditions are common causes of death and disability, but the frequency with which they coexist has not been comprehensively characterized.
Population
11 607 nonpregnant US adults aged 20 years or older from NHANES
Comparison
NHANES 1999-2002 vs 2015-2020
Design
Nationally representative serial cross-sectional cohort study

Implication
Rising multimorbidity trends may prompt broader screening; extends NHANES epidemiology while leaving treatment effects for prospective study.

P
Population
11,607 nonpregnant US adults (≥20 years) from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2015-2020, mean age 48.5 years, 51.0% women.

Outcome
Proportion of participants with cardiac, renal, and metabolic (CRM) conditions, overall and stratified by age, defined as cardiovascular disease (CVD), chronic kidney disease (CKD), type 2 diabetes (T2D), or all 3
Cardiac, renal, and metabolic multimorbidity is increasingly common among US adults, with the prevalence of having all three conditions doubling from 1999 to 2020, yet these high-risk patients remain undertreated with guideline-directed therapies.
Limitations
- Participants were not surveyed in a stable single-year sample due to operational constraints.
- Data was not specific to individual conditions but provided overarching analytical guidelines.

Ostrominski et al. (2023) studied Cardiac, Renal, and Metabolic Conditions. NHANES 2011-2016 data was evaluated on Prevalence of cardiac, renal, and metabolic conditions. The report presents analytic guidelines for examining the prevalence of cardiac, renal, and metabolic conditions using NHANES data from 2011-2016, but does not provide specific prevalence rates or effect sizes regarding these conditions.
