Economic Development and Chronic Kidney Disease Prevalence: Evidence of Nonlinearity from a Global Panel, 1995–2023

Paper C Peer reviewed Observational

Key takeaways

Researchers compared how rich countries are with how common kidney disease is there, using data from many countries between 1995 and 2023. The link is not a straight line: the rate rises and falls in different ways as income grows. This is a pattern across countries, not proof that wealth changes anyone's risk.
