aResults for univariable analysis.

bVariables are log2 transformed in logistic regression analyses.

cVariable is square root–transformed in logistic regression analyses.

Normally distributed data were presented as mean ± standard deviation, non-normally distributed data as median (interquartile range) and categorical data were presented as number (valid %). ORs for continuous variables are presented per 1 SD increase. Data regarding coffee consumption, protein intake, physically inactive lifestyle and airflow limitation were missing in 40 (5%), 87 (10%), 104 (12%) and 119 (14%) KTR, respectively. Other variables were missing in <3% of the KTR.

NT-proBNP, N-terminal pro b-type natriuretic peptide.
