- Abstract
Background. Ageing-related decline in kidney function is an independent predictor for cardiovascular events and death. However, the underlying mechanism is not clear. The purpose of this study was to identify the associations between ageing-related decline in kidney function and carotid intima–media thickness (IMT) in a healthy Chinese population with normal kidney function and with no cardiovascular disease.
