Association between measurements of subclinical CVD and incident ARF among community-dwelling elderly adultsa
| Risk Factor | Adjusted for | HR (95% CI) |
|---|---|---|
| Low AAI | Demographics + baseline creatinine | 2.43 (1.56 to 3.80) |
| Demographics + baseline creatinine + traditional risk factors | 2.18 (1.39 to 3.43) | |
| Common carotid IMT (per SD)b | Demographics + baseline creatinine | 1.35 (1.17 to 1.56) |
| Demographics + baseline creatinine + traditional risk factors | 1.29 (1.10 to 1.51) | |
| Internal carotid IMT (per SD)b | Demographics + baseline creatinine | 1.30 (1.13 to 1.49) |
| Demographics + baseline creatinine + traditional risk factors | 1.23 (1.06 to 1.43) | |
| Carotid stenosis | Demographics + baseline creatinine | 1.56 (1.12 to 2.18) |
| Demographics + baseline creatinine + traditional risk factors | 1.40 (0.99 to 1.98) |
a
Participants without CHD at baseline were included. Demographics: age, gender, and race; traditional risk factors: diabetes, hypertension, current smoking, HDL, and LDL. AAI, ankle-arm index; IMT, intima-media thickness.
b
Scaled variable = variable/SD of variable.
