The age-standardized prevalence of chrinic kidney disease (CKD) in Korean adults aged ≥19 years was 5.5% in 2023, which was similar to the prevalence of 5.8% in 2022 (Figure 1). In 2023, the prevalence of CKD was observed to be associated with age; the prevalence was 25.1% in people aged ≥70 years (Figure 2).

Body
The age-standardized prevalence of chrinic kidney disease (CKD) in Korean adults aged ≥19 years was 5.5% in 2023, which was similar to the prevalence of 5.8% in 2022 (Figure 1). In 2023, the prevalence of CKD was observed to be associated with age; the prevalence was 25.1% in people aged ≥70 years (Figure 2).
