HR, hazard ratio; CI, confidence interval

^aHRs were adjusted for age (years), sex (male, female), race (white, non-white), marital status (married or living as married, no), educational level (college below, college graduate, postgraduate), body mass index (kg/m²), smoking status (never, current, former), smoking pack-years (continuous), alcohol consumption (g/day), ibuprofen use (no, yes), arm (intervention, control), family history of renal cancer (no, yes), history of diabetes (no, yes), history of hypertension (no, yes) and energy intake from diet (kcal/day)

^bHR was not adjusted for history of renal comorbidity

^cHR was not adjusted for history of diabetes

^dThis covariate was treated as the continuous variable in multivariable Cox regression

^eWeight change, defined as the participant's baseline weight minus weight at age 20, which was used as a proxy for BMI to be included in the analysis in the COX regression
