Progression of chronic kidney disease (CKD) increases the risk of complications such as cardiovascular disease; however, knowledge regarding renal function in the general population is low. We aimed to determine factors necessitating CKD education in the general population. Participants for a health promotion seminar were recruited via the Sugiura Memorial Foundation website and Sugi Pharmacy stores. Those who agreed to participate in the seminar were included in the questionnaire survey after a health seminar. Out of 1548 participants, 1050 answered all questionnaire items, resulting in a valid response rate of 67.83%. Multivariable analysis revealed that sex (OR = 0.611), pharmacy consultations (OR = 0.661), receiving a blood test within 1 year (OR = 0.268), awareness of blood pressure (OR = 0.038), and knowledge of blood glucose level (OR = 0.099) were factors for unawareness of renal function. This study suggests that female individuals unaware of their blood pressure or glucose levels, those who have not had a blood test within 1 year, and those who have not sought health consultations need education on renal function.
慢性肾脏病（CKD）的进展会增加心血管疾病等并发症的风险；然而，普通人群对肾功能的了解程度较低。我们旨在确定普通人群中需要进行CKD教育的因素。通过杉浦纪念基金会网站和杉浦药房招募了参加健康促进研讨会的参与者。同意参加研讨会的人在健康研讨会后被纳入问卷调查。在1548名参与者中，1050人回答了所有问卷项目，有效回复率为67.83%。多变量分析显示，性别（OR = 0.611）、药房咨询（OR = 0.661）、1年内接受血液检查（OR = 0.268）、血压意识（OR = 0.038）和血糖水平知识（OR = 0.099）是肾功能认知不足的因素。这项研究表明，未意识到自己血压或血糖水平的女性、1年内未进行血液检查的人以及未寻求健康咨询的人需要接受肾功能教育。
