Chronic kidney disease (CKD) and peripheral artery disease (PAD) are major contributors to morbidity and mortality, yet their combined impact on mortality outcomes remains uncertain.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec id=\"sec002\">\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We analyzed data from NHANES 1999\u20132004, focusing on individuals aged 40 years and older. CKD was defined by urinary albumin to creatinine ratio (UACR) &gt;30\u2009mg\/g or estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) &lt;60\u2009mL\/min\/1.73 m2, while PAD was determined by an ankle-brachial pressure index (ABI) \u22640.90.

Participants with concomitant CKD and PAD had higher risks of mortality than those with neither condition or with only one condition. For all-cause mortality, individuals with both CKD and PAD showed the highest risk (adjusted hazard ratio [HR]=3.25, 95% CI: 2.55\u20134.14,\n                      <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009&lt;\u20090.001).
