    Urolithiasis, or kidney stone disease, affects white and black military patients equally. This finding challenges the notion that urinary calculi are uncommon in Black individuals.

    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Nephrology
    • Epidemiology

    Background:

    • Urolithiasis (kidney stones) prevalence varies significantly across different racial groups.
    • Historically, urinary calculi have been considered less common in Black populations.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the prevalence of urolithiasis in a diverse military population.
    • To compare stone disease incidence between White and Black patients.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of 193 consecutive individuals with documented urolithiasis.
    • Study population comprised military personnel.

    Main Results:

    • The prevalence of kidney stone disease was nearly identical between White and Black patients.

  • This military cohort presents a unique demographic for studying urolithiasis.

    • Conclusions:

    • The study refutes the concept that urinary calculi are rare in Black individuals.
    • Racial disparities in urolithiasis prevalence may be less pronounced in certain populations, such as the military.
