*

Rapid decline in eGFR defined as loss exceeding 3 mL/min/1.73m2/year.

**

Adjusted for age, sex, race, and smoking.

Additionally adjusted for diabetes, hypertension and C-reactive protein. Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) is expressed in mL/min/1.73s m^2 and is calculated from serum cystatin C using the equation: 76.7 * [cystatin C]−1.18. SD = standard deviation. CI = confidence interval. Evaluated as a continuous, linear exposure.
