A self-administered questionnaire included questions on demographics and subjects' willingness and unwillingness to donate a kidney. Respondents were aged at least 18 years and did not have underlying chronic kidney disease, end-stage renal disease requiring dialysis, or history of kidney transplant. <\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results\u2014<\/jats:title><jats:p> Overall mean age of respondents was 49 (SD, 15) years and 50% were male. Response rate to the question on \u201cwillingness to donate kidney while alive\u201d was 96% (1460); 707 (48.4%) were willing to donate a kidney while alive. Respondents who were willing to donate were younger (&lt;40 years; P &lt; .001); had above a secondary level education ( P &lt; .001); had monthly household income 2000 SGD (or US$1660; exchange rate at 1 SGD = US$0.83) or higher ( P&lt; .001); were not married, single, or divorced ( P&lt; .001); and were professionals ( P&lt; .001). Fear of surgical risks (86.5% strongly agree or agree) and poorer health consequent to donation (87.5% strongly agree or agree) were the main reasons for not considering being a living kidney donor. Demographic factors and concerns of surgical risks and ill health after transplant influenced willingness to donate a kidney while alive. Addressing these concerns may alleviate anxiety with regard to living kidney donation. <\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.7182\/pit2012607","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2012,4,21]],"date-time":"2012-04-21T01:34:04Z","timestamp":1334972044000},"page":"95-101","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":14,"title":["Factors Influencing Living Kidney Donation in Singapore"],"prefix":"10.7182","volume":"22","author":[{"given":"Ow Yong Lai","family":"Meng","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"MMed, FCFP, GDip, Terence Kee Yi-Shern, BMBS, MRCP, FAMS Singapore General Hospital (OYLM, CL, TKYS), Centre for Health Services Research, Singapore Health Services (CWL, SvdE, VDJ), SingHealth Polyclinics (STS, STSH, PGSC, GTCS)"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Crystal","family":"Lim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"MMed, FCFP, GDip, Terence Kee Yi-Shern, BMBS, MRCP, FAMS Singapore General Hospital (OYLM, CL, TKYS), Centre for Health Services Research, Singapore Health Services (CWL, SvdE, VDJ), SingHealth Polyclinics (STS, STSH, PGSC, GTCS)"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Chow Wai","family":"Leng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"MMed, FCFP, GDip, Terence Kee Yi-Shern, BMBS, MRCP, FAMS Singapore General Hospital (OYLM, CL, TKYS), Centre for Health Services Research, Singapore Health Services (CWL, SvdE, VDJ), SingHealth Polyclinics (STS, STSH, PGSC, GTCS)"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Saskia","family":"van der Erf","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"MMed, FCFP, GDip, Terence Kee Yi-Shern, BMBS, MRCP, FAMS Singapore General Hospital (OYLM, CL, TKYS), Centre for Health Services Research, Singapore Health Services (CWL, SvdE, VDJ), SingHealth Polyclinics (STS, STSH, PGSC, GTCS)"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Veena D.","family":"Joshi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"MMed, FCFP, GDip, Terence Kee Yi-Shern, BMBS, MRCP, FAMS Singapore General Hospital (OYLM, CL, TKYS), Centre for Health Services Research, Singapore Health Services (CWL, SvdE, VDJ), SingHealth Polyclinics (STS, STSH, PGSC, GTCS)"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Swah Teck","family":"Sin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"MMed, FCFP, GDip, Terence Kee Yi-Shern, BMBS, MRCP, FAMS Singapore General Hospital (OYLM, CL, TKYS), Centre for Health Services Research, Singapore Health Services (CWL, SvdE, VDJ), SingHealth Polyclinics (STS, STSH, PGSC, GTCS)"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Stephanie Teo Swee","family":"Hong","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"MMed, FCFP, GDip, Terence Kee Yi-Shern, BMBS, MRCP, FAMS Singapore General Hospital (OYLM, CL, TKYS), Centre for Health Services Research, Singapore Health Services (CWL, SvdE, VDJ), SingHealth Polyclinics (STS, STSH, PGSC, GTCS)"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Paul Goh Soo","family":"Chye","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"MMed, FCFP, GDip, Terence Kee Yi-Shern, BMBS, MRCP, FAMS Singapore General Hospital (OYLM, CL, TKYS), Centre for Health Services Research, Singapore Health Services (CWL, SvdE, VDJ), SingHealth Polyclinics (STS, STSH, PGSC, GTCS)"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Gilbert Tan Choon","family":"Seng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"MMed, FCFP, GDip, Terence Kee Yi-Shern, BMBS, MRCP, FAMS Singapore General Hospital (OYLM, CL, TKYS), Centre for Health Services Research, Singapore Health Services (CWL, SvdE, VDJ), SingHealth Polyclinics (STS, STSH, PGSC, GTCS)"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2012,3,1]]},"reference":[{"volume-title":"Statistics.
