Key result
Male sex was associated with a significantly higher prevalence of chronic kidney disease compared to females (25.7% vs 11.8%, OR 2.253) in a rural Salvadoran agricultural community.
Cross-Sectional (n=775)
Odds Ratio: 2.253 (95% CI 1.001–5.058)
Absolute Event Rate: 25.7% vs 11.8%
p-value: p=0.050
May inform sex-specific CKD screening in similar agricultural communities; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective validation.
