The HRS constructed PRS from genome-wide association studies based on European and trans-ethnic ancestries. We used ordinary least-squares regression to examine the predictive power of European-based and transethnic PRS on kidney function, adjusting for demographic, behavioral, cardiometabolic risk, and socioeconomic factors.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The mean kidney function is approximately 74\u2009mL\/min\/1.73 m2, with a wide range, indicating significant heterogeneity among older Black adults. Findings suggest that neither the European nor the trans-ethnic PRS demonstrated a significant association with kidney function in demographic-adjusted models among older Black adults. Including behavioral, cardiometabolic, and socioeconomic factors did not change this relationship.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Our findings underscore the challenges of applying PRS to predict kidney function among older Black adults.
