Note: Adipose measures standardized to a mean of 0 and standard deviation of 1. Odds ratios are expressed per standard deviation increase in each fat measure.

a

Urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio cut points: >25 mg/g in women, >17 mg/g in men.

b

Adjusted for age, current smoking status, alcohol use, menopausal status (women only) and hormone replacement therapy use (women only).

c

Adjusted for minimal model covariates + current hypertension medication use, systolic blood pressure, and diabetes status.
