Introduction: Patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) have an increased risk of comorbid conditions, including cardiovascular disease (CVD). Anemia is prevalent in the CKD population and worsens as kidney function declines, resulting in a diminished quality of life and increased morbidity/mortality. The purpose of this secondary analysis was to determine the real-world prevalence of CVD among patients with non-dialysis-dependent CKD (NDD-CKD), with and without comorbid anemia, and to assess the impact of these conditions on quality of life (QoL) and work productivity.Methods: Data were drawn from the Adelphi CKD Disease-Specific Programme, conducted in France, Germany, Italy, Spain, and the UK (2012). Anonymized data were collected via patient record forms and patient-completed questionnaires. Patient data were stratified by anemic status and the presence of CVD comorbidity.Results: Data were collected by physicians for 1993 patients, of whom 867 completed a patient-completed questionnaire. A total of 61.4% of patients had anemia, and the prevalence of anemia increased with CKD stage. Patients with anemia had a higher mean number of cardiovascular comorbidities than non-anemic patients (1.27 vs 0.95, respectively; P < 0.001). The presence of cardiovascular conditions was associated with a significantly reduced QoL (EuroQol EQ-5D-3L visual analog scale: coefficient, -5.68 in anemic patients; P = 0.028) and work productivity and activity impairment (WPAI activity impairment: coefficient, +8.04 in anemic patients; P = 0.032), particularly among anemic patients.Conclusions: The presence of anemia in this cohort of NDD-CKD patients was high. The presence of concomitant cardiovascular conditions was more common in NDD-CKD patients with comorbid anemia, and was associated with reduced QoL and work productivity outcomes.

Backround Baseline depressive symptoms have been consistently associated with the onset of cardiovascular disease ( CVD). Objectives Since depressive symptoms vary over time in elderly persons, and to help clarify whether or not depression is an etiological factor for CVD, we quantified the association between the course of depressive symptoms and occurrence of first coronary heart disease ( CHD) and stroke events in older adults. Design A population-based prospective observational study. Setting Participants were randomly selected from the electoral rolls of three large French cities. Participants A total of 9,294 participants were examined at baseline between 1999 and 2001, and thereafter at repeated study visits over 10 years. Measurements High levels of depressive symptoms ( HLDS) were defined as a score ≥16 on the 20-item Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale. The number of study visits with HLDS was used as a time dependent variable in Cox proportional hazard models. Results There were 7,313 participants (36.6% males) aged 73.8 ± 5.4 years with no history of CHD, stroke or dementia at baseline. After a median follow-up of 8.4 years ( SD 2.3 years), 629 first CHD or stroke events occurred. After adjustment for sociodemographic characteristics and vascular risk factors, the risk of CHD and stroke combined increased 1.15-fold (95% CI: 1.06 to 1.25) per each additional study visit with HLDS. The results remained unchanged when accounting for the presence of disability and antidepressant intake at baseline and during follow-up. Conclusion Elderly persons exposed to HLDS at several occasions over 10 years showed substantial increased risk of coronary heart disease and stroke events. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The POLA study (June 1995 through July 1997) is a population-based study on cataract and age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and their risk factors in 2584 residents of Sète (South of France), aged 60–95 years. Classification of AMD was performed on 50° fundus photographs, according to an international classification. The presence of cardiovascular disease and its risk factors was determined by interviewer-based questionnaire, clinical examination (anthropometry, blood pressure) and fasting plasma measurements. Using a logistic model adjusted for age and gender, late AMD was not significantly associated with a history of cardiovascular disease, diabetes, use of hypocholesterolemic drugs, hypertension, blood pressure or plasma lipids. Obese subjects (body mass index greater than 30kg/m²) had a 2.29-fold (95% confidence interval (CI): 1.00–5.23) and 1.54-fold (CI: 1.05–2.26) increased risk of late AMD and pigmentary abnormalities in comparison with lean subjects. Finally, the risk of soft drusen was decreased in those subjects with a history of cardiovascular disease (odds-ratio (OR) = 0.72, CI: 0.54–0.97), and increased with increasing levels of HDL-cholesterol (OR = 1.52, CI: 1.14–2.02). None of these results were modified by further adjustments for smoking, educational level and plasma alpha-tocopherol. These results need to be confirmed by other studies, which ideally should be longitudinal and prospective. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
