Age and Gender-Related Trajectories of Urine Osmolality in a Large-Scale Population Study: Physiological Mechanisms and Clinical Implications.

Article C Peer reviewed Observational

Key takeaways

In over 128,000 people across Asia, urine concentration ability changes with age and differs by gender — older adults and men tend to have weaker kidney concentrating power. This study shows a link between age, gender, and this urine test result, but it does not prove why or how these changes happen.
