Values in parentheses are 95% confidence intervals. MESA, Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis; eGFRcr, estimated GFR by creatinine; eGFRcys, estimated GFR by cystatin C; IRR, incident rate ratio.

a

Incident CKD defined as eGFR <60 ml/min per 1.73 m2 and a decline in eGFR of >1 ml/min per year.

b

Demographic adjusted for age, race, education level, baseline eGFR (creatinine for creatinine models; cystatin C for cystatin C models; both for third model).

c

Fully adjusted for the above variables plus body mass index, systolic BP, hypertension medications, diabetes, HDL, IL-6, and C-reactive protein.
