SHS-MEDSTAR FC-DIVERSITY SUPPLEMENT - KEVIN PATTERSON

该项目的主要目标是调查美国印第安人社区中三个地区(亚利桑那州、俄克拉何马州和北/南达科他州)的不同铀暴露情况，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。(使用已作为强心研究一部分获得的二级数据的研究将被用来评估铀暴露的决定因素以及铀与慢性肾脏疾病的关联。)

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.)
