    Area of Science:

    • Gerontology
    • Nephrology
    • Epidemiology

    Background:

    • Proteinuria is a key indicator of kidney damage.
    • Prevalence and associated factors in older adults require further investigation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the prevalence of proteinuria in an elderly population.
    • To identify potential medical characteristics associated with proteinuria in this demographic.

    Main Methods:

    • A representative sample of 624 individuals aged 65-84 years was studied.
    • Data was collected from six regions in Croatia, Yugoslavia.
    • Proteinuria was assessed in relation to specific medical characteristics.

    Main Results:

    • Established proteinuria was observed in 30.8% of females and 27.4% of males.

  • Proteinuria showed a statistically significant association with urinary tract infections.
  • While arterial hypertension and heart failure were more frequent in proteinuria patients, the difference lacked statistical significance.

    • Conclusions:

    • Proteinuria is common in older adults, particularly in women.
    • Urinary tract infections are a significant risk factor for proteinuria in this age group.
    • Further research is needed to clarify the relationship between proteinuria, hypertension, and heart failure in the elderly.
