Spearman correlation, otherwise Pearson correlation used. For adjusted values partial correlations were used.

 = log transformed data. r = correlation coefficient.

ACR = albumin to creatinine ratio; aPWV = aortic pulse wave velocity; BP = blood pressure; BMI = Body Mass Index; eGFR = estimated glomerular filtration rate; IMD = Indicies of multiple deprivation; HDL = high density lipo-protein; HS CRP = High sensitivity C-reactive protein; MAP = Mean arterial pressure.
