Current research lacks clarity regarding the relationship between residence setting and CKD prevalence or its related risk factors. This study explored the urban\u2013rural disparities in CKD prevalence and risk factors in Taiwan. Our findings will aid the understanding of the distribution of CKD and the design of more effective prevention programmes.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Design<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This cross-sectional community-based study used the Renal Value Evaluation Awareness and Lift programme, which involves early screening and health education for CKD diagnosis and treatment.
