Heat exposure and chronic kidney disease : a temporal link in a Taiwanese agricultural county

Heat stress-related kidney injury has drawn public health attention. This study explored the temporal relationships between impaired kidney function and preceding outdoor heat exposure Taiwan. Data of participants collected through a health screening program was used to assess the association between chronic kidney disease (CKD) and average ambient temperature with various time lag structures. A total of 1,243 CKD cases and 38,831 non-CKD participants were included in the study. After adjusting for demographic, socioeconomic, lifestyle factors, and comorbidities, CKD was positively associated with the ambient temperature within 1-9 months. The 9-month average ambient temperature yielded the highest odds ratio of CKD (OR = 1.22; 95% CI = 1.09-1.37). Furthermore, females and farmers were found to be more vulnerable to CKD risk after outdoor heat exposure. These findings suggest that the prevention of heat stress-related kidney injury should consider relevant time frames and focus on vulnerable populations.
