In older adults, elevated albuminuria (ACR ≥30 mg/g) is significantly associated with a higher burden of cardiovascular risk factors.
Elevated ACR may support CV risk stratification in older adults; hypothesis-generating and should not yet change practice.
The BIS is a very well-characterized, representative cohort of older adults. Participants with an ACR ≥30 had significantly higher odds for most cardiovascular risk factors compared with an ACR <30 mg/g. Kidney function declined and ACR rose with increasing age.
