All variables are continuous except sex, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, hypertension, smoking status, and central obesity. HR, hazard ratio; 95% CI, 95% confidence interval.
Adjusted for age, sex, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, smoking, body mass index, eGFR, albuminuria, and hemoglobin.
P value for trend.
