a

BMI, body mass index, SBP, systolic BP; ACR, urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio.

b

Number of observations with missing characteristic (ARIC white/ARIC black/FHS/HAPI): Diabetes (18/83/46/0), fasting glucose (250/372/131/395), BMI (7/9/49/0), SBP (6/3/2/0), antihypertensive medication (4/4/2/0), eGFR and serum creatinine (4/85/92/0), ACR (2481/1580/486/N/A), and cystatin C (N/A/N/A/138/N/A). In FHS, 109 (100) participants were missing genotype data at rs12255372 (rs7903146).

c

ACR was measured at ARIC study visit 4 and FHS examination cycle 6.
