*WML; white matter lesions, eGFR; estimated glomerular filtration rate.

†Model 1: quartiles of estimated GFR and cystatin C were analyzed separately in the individual ordinal logistic regression model.

‡Model 2: quartiles of estimated GFR and cystatin C were analyzed together in the same logistic regression model.

Model 1 and model 2 were adjusted for covariates; age, sex, total cholesterol, diabetes, hypertension, dyslipidemia, previous heart disease, smoking, previous anti thrombotic or anticoagulant use, and white matter lesions.
