Adjusted association between reduced kidney function and prevalence of cognitive impairment

Kidney function	Adjusted odds ratio (and 95% confidence interval) ¹
CKD vs. no CKD	1.23 (1.06, 1.43)
per 10 ml/min/1.73m² decrease in GFR	1.11 (1.04, 1.19)
(reference = GFR ≥60 ml/min/1.73m²)

Model adjusted for age, sex, race, education, region, prevalent stroke/TIA, coronary heart disease diabetes, hypertension, elevated cholesterol, smoking, obesity, left ventricular hypertrophy, and atrial fibrillation.

To convert GFR in mL/min/1.73m² to mL/s/1.73m², multiply by 0.01667.
