Tertiles are based on the weighted distribution in the whole study sample. aeGFR < 74.7 mL/min per 1.73 m2 for men and eGFR < 65.4 mL/min per 1.73 m2 for women. bNot adjusted (crude). cAdjusted for age, education, region (metropolitan, urban, rural), BMI. dIncluded variables in model 2 and smoking status (never, former, current), alcohol intake (never, former, current), and blood lead (log micrograms per deciliter).
