Association Between Creatinine-Based Measures of Kidney Function and Functional Limitation Based on Several Methods to Adjust for Muscle Mass

Creatinine*, OR (95% CI) per SD Multivariable Adjustment, OR (95% CI) per SD Standardized Residuals, OR (95% CI) per SD eGFR, OR (95% CI) per SD
Women
    Kidney function > mean (n = 419) 2.27 (1.75–2.94) 2.56 (1.89–3.47) 2.78 (1.97–3.92) 2.41 (1.83–3.18)
    Kidney function < mean (n = 481) 0.57 (0.39–0.82) 0.47 (0.31–0.71) 0.62 (0.45–0.86) 0.71 (0.55–0.92)
Men
    Kidney function > mean (n = 273) 1.42 (1.12–1.80) 1.42 (1.09–1.83) 1.33 (1.07–1.65) 1.79 (1.28–2.51)
    Kidney function < mean (n = 381) 0.62 (0.37–1.03) 0.57 (0.33–1.01) 0.30 (0.13–0.73) 0.68 (0.48–0.98)

Notes: CI = confidence interval; eGFR = estimated glomerular filtration rate; OR = odds ratio; SD = standard deviation.

Mean ± standard deviation creatinine is 0.97 ± 0.20 mg/dL in women and 1.15 ± 0.23 mg/dL in men.

Based on the Modification of Diet in Renal Disease equation, mean ± standard deviation eGFR is 63 ± 13 mL/min/1.73 m2 in women and 70 ± 13 mL/min/1.73 m2 in men.
