The number of people older than 65 years with diabetes was 135.6 million in 2019,
and will reach 276.2 million by 2045 [
[1]
]. Additionally, the estimated prevalence of diabetes in adults today has reached 537
million (10.5% of the global population in 2021) [
[2]
]. Population aging and increasing prevalence of diabetes are two important factors
associated with an increasing incidence of chronic kidney disease (CKD). An accurate
estimation of glomerular filtration rate (GFR) can help with the identification and
management of CKD. Because measured GFR (mGFR) is inconvenient and costly for daily
clinical work, the use of GFR-estimating equations has become more common. However,
there are very limited studies evaluating the performance of GFR-estimating equations
in older adults with or without diabetes and which equation is most applicable in
this group is also unknown.Keywords
