Key result
Various lifestyle and clinical risk factors were associated with higher serum creatinine levels, with cardiovascular risk factors showing stronger associations in older versus middle-aged subjects.
Cross-Sectional (n=18,505)
Serum creatinine levels are associated with cardiovascular disease risk factors in the general population, with associations being stronger in older individuals.

Stronger CV risk factor associations with creatinine in older adults should not change practice; leaves open need for longitudinal confirmation of causality.
Vikse et al. (2004) conducted a cross-sectional in General population (n=18,505). Lifestyle and clinical risk factors was evaluated on Determinants of serum creatinine. Various lifestyle and clinical risk factors were associated with higher serum creatinine levels, with cardiovascular risk factors showing stronger associations in older versus middle-aged subjects.
