The continuous risk functions cover the 5^th to 95^th percentile interval of the coronary artery calcium score and correspond to levels of NT-proBNP at 7, 20, 55, 148, 403 ng/L (approximate the 5^th, 25^th, 50^th, 75^th and 95^th percentiles of the distribution). Risk functions were fitted by Cox regression with adjustment for sex, age, smoking, LDL and HDL cholesterol, HbA1c, eGFR, systolic blood pressure and urinary albumin excretion rate at baseline
