 | | From November 15, 2004 through April 30, 2005 (5-1/2 months), over 90% of the Isle of Youth's total population of 86,614 was screened to determine markers for renal damage. |
 | | In addition, the Isle of Youth is a virtual mosaic of the entire Cuban population, having been settled by immigrants from all parts of the main island. |
 | | When the various phases of the study are completed, the information is expected to yield stratification of the Isle of Youth population for CKD, provide additional insight into related conditions, and inform prevention strategies at every stage of the disease. |
