Abstract

was estimated using the Modification of Diet in Renal Disease calculator. Results: A total of 640 students were studied (M:F¼1:3.8). Their mean age was 23.1AE2.8 years. Thirty three (5.2%) participants had renal dysfunction (estimated glomerular flitration rate < 60ml/min/1.73m 2). The mean age of subjects with renal dysfunction (estimated glomerular flitration rate < 60ml/min/1.73m 2) was significantly higher with an inverse association to renal function (p ¼ 0.005). Two hundred and fifty seven (40.2%) and 58 (9.1%) participants were pre-hypertensive and hypertensive respectively; overweight, abdominal obesity and hypercholesterolaemia were found among 12.2%, 14.2% and 8.1% of subjects respectively. The mean body mass index (p ¼ 0.009) and serum total cholesterol (p ¼ 0.003) were significantly higher among females. There was a higher prevalence of renal dysfunction among females (5.9 v 2.2%, p ¼ 0.12) even though this was not to the significant level Conclusions: The prevalence of renal dysfunction in young adults is lower than current estimates for adults. Increasing age is likely to influence onset of chronic kidney disease while female gender influenced the prevalence of increased body mass and hypercholesterolaemia
