a

Percent agreement defined as observed agreement based on agreement of increased ACR and non-increased ACR [# concordant (on diagonal)/total #] × 100. κ defined as (observed agreement − expected agreement)/(1 − expected agreement).

b

Diagnosed by self-report of diagnosis.

c

Defined by self-report of diagnosis, self-reported anti-hypertensive treatment, or measured systolic blood pressure ≥140 mmHg or diastolic blood pressure ≥90 mmHg.

d

Defined by MDRD equation; <30 mL · min−1 · (1.73 m2)−1 not listed owing to small sample size (n = 50).
