SHS-MEDSTAR FC-DIVERSITY SUPPLEMENT - KEVIN PATTERSON

该项目的主要目的是调查美国印第安社区三个地区（亚利桑那州、俄克拉荷马州和北达科他州/南达科他州）的铀暴露差异，并在强心脏研究（SHS）中评估慢性铀暴露与慢性肾脏疾病（CKD）发病率之间的关系。（将利用作为强健心脏研究一部分现有的二手数据进行研究，以评估铀接触的决定因素以及铀与慢性肾脏疾病的关系。）

The main objective of this project is to investigate differential uranium exposure across three regions (Arizona, Oklahoma, and North/South Dakota) in American Indian communities, and assess the association between chronic uranium exposure and incidence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) in the Strong Heart Study (SHS). (Research using secondary data already available as part of the Strong Heart Study will be utilized to evaluate determinants of uranium exposure and the association of uranium with chronic kidney disease.)
