Health status, lifestyle habit, physical examination and blood pressure were evaluated. Spot urine was examined for proteins and glucose by dipstick. Fasting blood glucose and serum creatinine were measured in a subset of 1000 people and the prevalence of Chronic Kidney Disease was evaluated.RESULTSOverweight, obesity, hypertension, diabetes and proteinuria were found in 20%, 5.0%, 38.6%, 7.5%, and 5.1% respectively. In the subset group, Chronic Kidney Disease was detected in 10.6%. Multivariate analysis indicated age (P <0.0001) and diabetes (P = 0.027) as statistically significant predictors for Chronic Kidney Disease.
