Multivariable adjusted odds ratios of predicting variables for incident hypertension (n = 920)

Baseline factors	Adjusted odds ratios (95% CI)a	P-value
Quartiles of UACR (median, IQR), (mg/g)
1st Quartile (2.3, 2.0–2.6)	1 (Reference)
2nd Quartile (3.3, 3.1–3.6)	1.35 (0.65–2.81)	0.42
3rd Quartile (4.7, 4.2–5.3)	2.12 (1.04–4.35)	0.039
4th Quartile (8.3, 7.0–12.6)	2.45 (1.21–4.98)	0.013
SBP (mmHg)	1.48 (1.30–1.68) for each 5 mmHg increase	<0.001
Waist circumference (cm)	1.06 (1.01–1.12) for each 2.5 cm increase	0.010
