^*Models reflect the change in hazard of the outcome associated with each 1kb lower LTL

^†Model 1 is adjusted for age, current smoking, BMI category, diabetes status, geographic region, hypertension, education, and income; Model 2 includes Model 1 adjustment factors and additionally the biomarkers: ln(CRP), HDL, LDL, ln(TRI) and for mortality models, eGFR
