Logistic model: eGFR = Age + Gender + SBP > 140 + DBP > 90 + Diabetes + Family history of ESKD + BMI (continuous). eGFR was dichotomous variable ≤60/>60 mL/min/ 1.73 m2.

b

Logistic model: eGFR = Age + Gender + SBP > 140 + DBP > 90 + Diabetes + Family history of ESKD + BMI (continuous) + each exposure. eGFR was dichotomous variable ≤60/>60 mL/ min/1.73 m2.
