Abstract
Exposure to adverse life events is linked to somatic disorders. The study aims to evaluate the association between adverse events at varying life stages and the risk of chronic kidney disease (CKD), a condition affecting about 10% population worldwide. This prospective cohort study included 140,997 participants from the UK Biobank. Using survey items related to childhood maltreatment, adulthood adversity and catastrophic trauma, we performed latent class analysis to summarize five distinct patterns of exposure to adverse life events, namely "low-level exposure", "childhood exposure", "adulthood exposure", "sexual abuse" and "child-to-adulthood exposure". We used Cox proportional hazard regression to evaluate the association of patterns of exposure to adverse life events with CKD, regression-based mediation analysis to decompose the total effect, and gene-environment-wide interaction study (GEWIS) to identify interactions between genetic loci and adverse life events. During a median follow-up of 5.98 years, 2734 cases of incident CKD were identified. Compared with the "low-level exposure" pattern, "child-to-adulthood exposure" was associated with increased risk of CKD (hazard ratio 1.37, 95% CI 1.14 to 1.65). BMI, smoking and hypertension mediated 11.45%, 9.79%, and 4.50% of this total effect, respectively. Other patterns did not show significant results. GEWIS and subsequent analyses indicated that the magnitude of the association between adverse life events and CKD differed according to genetic polymorphisms, and identified potential underlying pathways (e.g., interleukin 1 receptor activity). These findings underscore the importance of incorporating an individual's psychological encounters and genetic profiles into the precision prevention of CKD.</p>
