The prevalence of CKD was 27% (95% CI 20\u201335%) in adults with hypertension, 31% (95% CI 22\u201341%) in adults with diabetes and 14% (95% CI 10\u201319%) in adults who were overweight\/obese. We found substantial heterogeneity across the included studies in the pooled estimates for CKD prevalence in both general and high-risk populations.
