multivariable models adjusted for age, sex, systolic BP, diastolic BP, HTN treatment (where appropriate), current smoking status, diabetes, serum creatinine, urine sodium/creatinine ratio, body mass index, hormone replacement therapy.
Beta is the regression coefficient per unit increase in log(predictor). SE = standard error of beta.
