Editorial Comment

Urinary stone disease is a growing and important public health problem in the United States. Tundo et al report the results of a cross-sectional analysis of data from the 2007 to 2012 NHANES, the gold standard for nationally representative health estimates. Focusing on younger adults, the authors compared the prevalence of self-reported stone disease by gender, finding an equal prevalence of stones (approximately 1/16) among men and women. These findings persisted after controlling for important potential confounders.
