Abstract

Social and environmental exposures are strong drivers of health inequity and adverse health outcomes. However, data from studies that examine the longitudinal effect of social and environmental exposure burdens on kidney disease outcomes are limited. The environmental justice index–social environmental ranking, although imperfect, provides an important tool to address this gap in knowledge.
