Television Viewing Time and Risk of Chronic Kidney Disease in Adults: The AusDiab Study
Open accessAbstract
BACKGROUND: Television viewing time independent of physical activity is associated with a number of chronic diseases and related risk factors; however, its relationship with chronic kidney disease is unknown. PURPOSE: The purpose of this study is to examine the cross-sectional and prospective relationships of television viewing time with biomarkers of chronic kidney disease. METHODS: Participants of the Australian Diabetes, Obesity and Lifestyle Study attended the baseline (n = 10,847) and 5-year follow-up (n = 6,293) examination. RESULTS: Television viewing was significantly associated with increased odds of prevalent albuminuria and low estimated glomerular filtration rate. In the gender-stratified analyses this pattern was seen for men, but not for women. In the longitudinal analyses, odds of de novo albuminuria and low estimated glomerular filtration rate were increased only in unadjusted models. CONCLUSIONS: Television viewing time may be directly related to markers of chronic kidney disease and through intertwined associated risk factors such as diabetes, hypertension, and obesity.

The Australian Diabetes, Obesity, and Lifestyle Study found that increased television watching or low self-reported leisure-time physical activity were associated with increased odds of albuminuria and low estimated glomerular filtration rate in 6,000 subjects.
“In contrast, the Australian Diabetes, Obesity, and Lifestyle Study found that increased television watching or low self-reported leisure-time physical activity were associated with increased odds ratio of albuminuria and low estimated glomerular filtration rate in 6,000 subjects (325, 558).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
