Key result
Microalbuminuria and peripheral arterial disease were independently associated with increased cardiovascular mortality (RR 2.9; 95% CI 1.1-7.3 for MA and RR 2.0; 95% CI 0.7-5.7 for PAD).
Why the study?
Do microalbuminuria and peripheral arterial disease independently predict cardiovascular and all-cause mortality in adults aged 50 to 75 years?
Cohort (n=631)
Do microalbuminuria and peripheral arterial disease independently predict cardiovascular and all-cause mortality in adults aged 50 to 75 years?
Relative Risk: 2.9 (95% CI 1.1–7.3)
Microalbuminuria and peripheral arterial disease are mutually independent predictors of cardiovascular mortality, with effects more pronounced in hypertensive patients.

Microalbuminuria independently associated with CV mortality; hypothesis-generating for risk stratification and requires prospective validation.
Jager et al. (1999) conducted a cohort in Population-based cohort (n=631). Microalbuminuria and peripheral arterial disease vs. Absence of microalbuminuria and peripheral arterial disease was evaluated on Cardiovascular mortality (RR 2.9, 95% CI 1.1-7.3). Microalbuminuria and peripheral arterial disease were independently associated with increased cardiovascular mortality (RR 2.9; 95% CI 1.1-7.3 for MA and RR 2.0; 95% CI 0.7-5.7 for PAD).
