a

Adjusted for age, gender, race, body mass index, smoking, diabetes, hypertension, systolic blood pressure, low density lipoprotein cholesterol, high density lipoprotein cholesterol, vitamin D, and log C-reactive protein. The sample sizes are based on the complete case data for all variables used in the multivariable models.

b

Values per 10 ml/min per 1.73 m2 lower eGFR.
