Understanding the reasons for this decrease is an important health policy issue.</div></div><div><h3>Methods</h3><div>Data on 7,320 adults with diabetes from National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (1999–2018) were examined to estimate the prevalence of chronic kidney disease in 4-year cohorts. Chronic kidney disease was defined by an estimated glomerular filtration rate &lt;60 ml/min/1.73m<sup>2</sup> or urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio ≥30 mg/g. Diabetes and hypertension were defined by combination of self-report, medication, or laboratory detection.

The reduction in chronic kidney disease prevalence was greater after adjusting for demographics (OR=0.92, 95% CI=0.88, 0.97). After adjusting for glucose; blood pressure; medication use; and health behaviors, including smoking, diet, and physical activity, the decreasing trend became nonstatistically significant (OR=0.95, 95% CI=0.90, 1.00), suggesting that these factors may have played a role in the lower chronic kidney disease prevalence over time.

Covariates adjusted for included day of the week, daily numbers of COVID-19–related cases, deaths, hospitalizations, and patients in the intensive care unit.</div></div><div><h3>Results</h3><div>The study found a significant and positive effect of vaccination-differentiated public health and social measure announcements on the daily vaccine uptake rate among the vaccine-naive population, specifically for dining out and patronizing shopping malls. When stratified by age group, the significant and positive effect of the announcement of mall access vaccination-differentiated public health and social measures persisted across all age groups, and it only persisted for individuals aged 13–17, 25–34, and 35–49 years for the announcement of dining vaccination-differentiated public health and social measures.</div></div><div><h3>Conclusions</h3><div>Overall, the findings support the effectiveness of vaccination-differentiated public health and social measures in increasing vaccine uptake rates among vaccine-hesitant persons. However, the compelling evidence for complementary policies should also be considered.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":72142,"journal":{"name":"AJPM focus","volume":"5 1","pages":"Article 100419"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2026-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145365212","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
