Chronic Kidney Diseases, Diabetes Mellitus, Hypertension
Conditions
Brief summary
This study will investigate chronic kidney disease (CKD) and cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors in a sample population of Hispanics/Latinos and Caucasians in Yakima county that are rural dwelling. This investigation is intended to provide information on the impact rural geographical location and social determinants of health (SDOH) have on CKD and CVD risk factors.
Detailed description
Yakima County has a large hispanic farmworker population. The peak work times are between May and September. There is a growing body of research that shows the risk of agricultural workers in work environments with extreme heat. The purpose of this pilot study is to look at incidence of non-diagnosed chronic kidney disease within Yakima County to inform future studies to examine other factors and unique bio-markers that may help in the early diagnosis of heat related injuries in agricultural workers.
