Figure 3. Hazard ratio (HR) with 95% CI (confidence interval) of all-cause and cardiovascular (CV) mortality by levels of symmetric dimethylarginine (SDMA).

The full model was adjusted for sex, physical activity, smoking, and waist circumference. Age was used as timescale. To the full model the following covariates were added separately: diabetes (T2DM), systolic blood pressure (BP), liver disease, and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR). High SDMA levels were categorized according to the age- and sex-specific 66^th percentile (reference: low: <33^th percentile).
