All analyses on strata were adjusted for age, sex, dialysis vintage and randomized group (excluding the conventional risk factor of the stratum under study), and presence of DM, CVD, and RKF. Estimates in this table may differ slightly from estimates in the text of the Results, because estimates in this table are derived from models performed in the subgroups separately. BMI, body mass index.

Estimate slope indicates mean longitudinal change per year in BMI associated with the presence or absence of the conventional risk factor.
