BMI, body mass index; DBP, diastolic blood pressure; eGFR, estimated glomerular filtration rate; HDL, high-density lipoprotein; LVMi, left ventricular mass index; MI, myocardial infarction; MR-proADM, midregional pro-adrenomedullin; SBP, systolic blood pressure; UACR, urine albumin:creatinine ratio.

Model 1 is unadjusted; model 2 is adjusted for age and sex; and model 3 is adjusted for age, sex, BMI, systolic BP, diastolic BP, eGFR, total cholesterol and HDL cholesterol, smoking history, diabetes, previous history of myocardial infarction or stroke) and the use of medications (BP-lowering and statin).
