Model adjusted for adjusted for classes of albuminuria, eGFR, age, gender, educational level, diabetes, hypertension, history of cardiovascular disease, body mass index, alcohol use, cholesterol, and smoking. Model tertile 1: adjusted R2 = 0.15, residual SD = 23. Model tertile 2: adjusted R2 = 0.21, residual SD = 21. Model tertile 3: adjusted R2 = 0.21, residual SD = 18; CI, confidence interval.
