Objective: Perceived discrimination has been associated with psychosocial distress and adverse health outcomes. We examined associations of perceived discrimination measures with changes in kidney function in a prospective cohort study, the Healthy Aging in Neighborhoods of Diversity across the Life Span. Methods: Our study included 1620 participants with preserved baseline kidney function (estimated glomerular filtration rate [eGFR] = 60 mL/min/1.73 m2) (662 whites and 958 African Americans, aged 30–64 years). Self-reported perceived racial discrimination and perceived gender discrimination (PGD) and a general measure of experience of discrimination (EOD) (“medium versus low,” “high versus low”) were examined in relation to baseline, follow-up, and annual rate of change in eGFR using multiple mixed-effects regression (?base, ?rate) and ordinary least square models (?follow). Results: Perceived gender discrimination “high versus low PGD” was associated with a lower baseline eGFR in all models (?base = -3.51 (1.34), p = .009 for total sample). Among white women, high EOD was associated with lower baseline eGFR, an effect that was strengthened in the full model (?base = -5.86 [2.52], p = .020). Overall, “high versus low” PGD was associated with lower follow-up eGFR (?follow = -3.03 [1.45], p = .036). Among African American women, both perceived racial discrimination and PGD were linked to lower follow-up kidney function, an effect that was attenuated with covariate adjustment, indicating mediation through health-related, psychosocial, and lifestyle factors. In contrast, EOD was not linked to follow-up eGFR in any of the sex by race groups. Conclusions: Perceived racial and gender discrimination are associated with lower kidney function assessed by glomerular filtration rate and the strength of associations differ by sex and race groups. Perceived discrimination deserves further investigation as a psychosocial risk factors for kidney disease.
