Adjusted for all variables in Table 1 (except kidney function variables).

Normal kidney function defined as eGFR greater than 60 mL/min (>1.00 mL/s) and cystatin C level less than 1.0 mg/L. Pre-CKD defined as eGFR greater than 60 mL/min (>1.00 mL/s) and cystatin C level of 1.0 mg/L or greater. CKD defined as eGFR less than 60 mL/min (<1.00 mL/s).
