The GFR estimation was available for 2, 946 individuals, among whom, 278/2946 (9.4 %) were found with impaired kidney function). Of the 278 persons with CKD, 11/2946 (0.4 %), 16/2946 (0.5 %), 229/2946 (7.8 %) and 22/2946 (0.6 %) were estimated for GFR rates of stage V, Stage IV, stage III and stage IV, respectively.
